I was just making up techniques... how did all of you become Emperors?

"I didn't expect this world to still have Qilin."

Cao Youqian watched the Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird approaching from afar, muttering to himself.

That Qilin was wrapped in lightning all over its body, and with every breath, a faint sound of thunder came from its nostrils, instantly attracting his attention.

He, Cao Youqian, naturally wouldn't take a Qilin as a disciple, but taking it as a mount was possible; riding it out would be majestic and impressive.

The divine beasts split up and walked in different directions halfway, but only that Qilin walked toward the direction where Cao Youqian was.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Fate, truly wonderful!"

Soon, that Thunder Qilin appeared before Cao Youqian.

He smiled and raised a hand: "Halt."

Hearing this sound, the Thunder Qilin immediately stopped its footsteps. Lowering its head, it saw a human blocking its path, and impatience floated in its eyes as it slowly spoke: "This God has no grace to bestow upon you, a tiny mortal. Scram."

It was very depressed in its heart now. A few days ago, it saw a light of luck fall from the sky, and it thought of using that light of luck to break through and become a Demon Emperor.

Unexpectedly, it arrived one step too late, and that light of luck dissipated halfway.

It circled the place where the light of luck dissipated but didn't discover any objects of luck, nor did it find that treasure. It could only return to its cave dwelling the way it came.

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Youqian's mouth rose slightly: "Little Qilin, this Seat isn't here to ask you for an opportunity, but to give you one."

???

The Thunder Qilin looked at the human in front of it with the eyes of a fool, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha...

This is the funniest joke this King has heard since birth. My Qilin clan is the darling of heaven and earth. What opportunity can a tiny human like you give me? Since you don't know what is good for you, don't blame this King for being rude!"

As the words fell, it spat out a bolt of lightning toward Cao Youqian.

Seeing this, Cao Youqian clasped his hands in front of his body and didn't move, letting that lightning fall on him.

Unscathed!

The Thunder Qilin froze in place. Although the lightning it spat out wasn't heavenly lightning, it could make all living beings fear it; how could this human be completely fine?

"Hehe."

Cao Youqian chuckled: "You only have this much ability. No wonder you can't enter Wonderful Mountain. It seems you aren't the darling in the Qilin clan."

As soon as these words came out, the Thunder Qilin was instantly infuriated. It indeed wasn't the proud son of heaven in the Qilin clan; otherwise, it wouldn't have been assigned to this place to occupy the mountain as a king.

It glared angrily at Cao Youqian and said: "Brat, even if it's true, you can't say it out loud. Today, I will make you know the power of my Qilin clan. Roar!!!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, the Thunder Qilin was completely covered by lightning. Countless bolts of lightning flew out from its body, falling on Cao Youqian like raindrops.

Cao Youqian stood expressionless in place, moved his neck, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Harder. Didn't you eat?"

"I'll eat you!"

The Thunder Qilin was thoroughly enraged by Cao Youqian. It opened its bloody mouth, intending to swallow this detestable human in one bite.

"It seems your brain isn't too bright either; you still can't see reality clearly even now."

As Cao Youqian spoke, he threw a punch at that Thunder Qilin.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Thunder Qilin was smashed to the ground by Cao Youqian's punch.

Cao Youqian slowly walked forward, jumped onto the Thunder Qilin's head, looked at this divine beast with a half-smile, and said: "Are you awake now?"

The Thunder Qilin wasn't a fool either; it reacted quickly that this human in front of it was no ordinary person. It hurriedly spoke: "Great Martial above, this little beast doesn't know where it offended you. Please, Great Martial, be merciful."

"This Seat still prefers your previous arrogant and unyielding appearance."

Cao Youqian looked at this Thunder Qilin with a teasing face and said unhurriedly: "Of course, This Seat is not one who refuses to be reasonable. As long as you agree to a small request of mine, I will spare your life."

"Please speak, Great Martial."

The Thunder Qilin said this, but in its heart, it noted the appearance of this Great Martial. I cannot beat you, but cannot I call for people?

Wait until my clansmen arrive. No matter what kind of Great Martial you are, you will all become food in the bowls of my Qilin clan then.

Cao Youqian said unhurriedly: "This Seat is still lacking a mount. You understand."

"Just that?"

The Thunder Qilin paused for a moment and asked: "I do not know what kind of mount the Great Martial likes. I can help you catch one."

"Straightforward."

Cao Youqian gave it a thumbs-up: "I just like a mount like you. I wonder if you are willing to serve This Seat."

"Willing..."

The word "willing" hadn't yet left the Thunder Qilin's mouth when it stopped. It turned out this tiny human Great Martial actually wanted it, this noble Qilin, to be a mount.

It immediately shook its head and said: "Impossible. This is absolutely impossible. Moreover, my Qilin clan is the darling of heaven and earth. If you dare to sign a contract with me, you will definitely suffer the backlash of heaven and earth."

"Is that so?"

Cao Youqian shrugged and said: "My fate is determined by me, not by heaven. I actually want to see what this backlash of heaven and earth is like."

???

The Thunder Qilin looked at the guy in front of it with stunned eyes, and a thought popped into its mind: Is this guy's brain broken? Or did I not express myself clearly enough?

Seeing the inexplicable expression on the other party's face, Cao Youqian smiled and said: "You don't believe me? Then let's start signing the contract."

After speaking, he cast a spell to bind the contract. As a strong person in the Nirvana Realm, writing a Spirit Beast Contract at will was not a difficult task for him.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Thunder Qilin refused without even thinking.

"It seems the lesson I gave you just now wasn't enough."

Cao Youqian said this as he swung his fist and smashed it toward the Thunder Qilin's forehead.

Boom, boom, boom...

Accompanied by a series of dull thuds, the Thunder Qilin's head was smashed into the soil.

After a few punches, the Thunder Qilin chickened out and hurriedly said: "Stop hitting, stop hitting. I'll sign, okay?"

Since it couldn't beat him, it chose to join. It planned to wait a moment for the backlash of heaven and earth to arrive, and it would have a chance to break free from the constraints.

It could even swallow this human Great Martial. As long as this human Great Martial died, no one would know about this matter. By then, it would still be the high and noble Qilin divine beast.

"That's more like it."

Cao Youqian said as he jumped down from the Thunder Qilin's body.

Soon, one human and one beast finished binding the contract. The moment the contract was formed, the wind and clouds suddenly changed.

Strong winds blew within a radius of several tens of miles, and thunder clouds rolled in the sky.

Rumble!

A bolt of heavenly thunder fell toward Cao Youqian on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the corners of the Thunder Qilin's mouth rose slightly, revealing an excited smile. This human Great Martial was done for.

But very quickly, its smile froze...
