NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1448: Two Beasts Submit
Inside the Ancient Heavenly Tomb.
The orange fat cat and Xiao Yi were staring at each other.
Their gazes collided in the air, sparking what seemed like tangible flames.
Even the nearby World-Eating Beast couldn't help but stop its struggle, curiously watching the man and the cat.
After a full moment of silence.
The orange fat cat let out a low meow, surprisingly standing upright like a human, with its two front paws clasped behind it, slightly hunching as it paced back and forth: "I didn't expect you'd discover it after all..."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
Before entering the Ancient Heavenly Tomb, he had some suspicions about the fat cat's identity based on its behavior.
He had never been certain!
Because of this.
When he noticed the fat cat deliberately or inadvertently cooperating with the World-Eating Beast to ambush him, he didn't expose it but instead waited patiently for the cat and beast to make a move.
At the critical moment, he summoned the Ancient Heavenly Tomb, capturing both the cat and the mouse into it.
As Xiao Yi said...
Inside the Ancient Heavenly Tomb.
He was like a god, like heaven, an omnipotent existence.
Not to mention this fat cat was just a primordial spirit left behind by a strong Divine King Realm expert; even a real Divine King in the Ancient Heavenly Tomb was nothing he feared.
After all.
In the Divine King of the Heavenly God Race, it was just comparable to the presence of a Saint King.
With Xiao Yi's current strength, being a master in the sixth level of the Saint King Realm, he possessed the power to slay it.
Meow!
The fat cat stretched lazily, leaping up to sit on a tombstone, its small tail swaying gently: "Back then, the strong from all the worlds of the heavens entered the Nine Heavens Domain together, vying for a supreme treasure that could drive all creatures in the heavens mad. Could it be this?"
The fat cat looked up at Xiao Yi.
In front of him was a strong presence at the Divine King Realm, whose physical body was destroyed in that battle, with a wisp of primordial spirit escaping alive.
Merged into the Divine King Temple, becoming an artifact spirit guarding the temple.
After meeting Xiao Yi.
Especially upon learning that Xiao Yi had only been cultivating for less than a hundred years, he began to suspect Xiao Yi's identity.
Even in the Nine Heavens Domain of ancient times.
Those who could step into the Saint King Realm within a hundred years were extremely rare, not exceeding a handful!
But at that time, he didn't dare be certain.
Until now...
Seeing the appearance of the Ancient Heavenly Tomb, a place where the famous Food Realm Beast lost its ability to resist and even its strongest innate divine ability failed.
The Divine King became more certain of his inner suspicion.
After all.
Even though back then in the Nine Heavens Domain, only a few people probed to know what the supreme treasure, which caused the strong from the worlds of the heavens to invade, actually was.
But he was very aware that the master of the Nine Heavens Domain at that time also gained an unparalleled, terrifying power in a short time, just like Xiao Yi, relying on that supreme treasure!
Xiao Yi's pupils slightly contracted, but he was in no hurry.
In this Ancient Heavenly Tomb.
He had absolute control!
Xiao Yi calmly gazed at the fat cat: "When did you confirm my identity?"
The fat cat said: "When I first met you, I just wanted to use you to escape Paradise Island, then find an opportunity to seize your body and thus return to this world. But as I got to know you better, I increasingly felt that you harbored a big secret. As for when I confirmed it... it was when you brought me here..."
The fat cat pointed to the surrounding Ancient Heavenly Tomb.
The World-Eating Beast nearby also widened its eyes, looking at Xiao Yi and the fat cat in disbelief.
It finally understood the content of their conversation.
The revelation within made it feel incredulous, staring at the fat cat intently: "Are you saying this is the supreme treasure that once attracted the strong from all the worlds of the heavens, leading to the disintegration of the Nine Heavens Domain?"
In ancient times.
The Longevity Realm, one of the nine realms, discovered a domain passage to the Qingtian Realm and dispatched experts into the Qingtian Realm, establishing the Longevity Hall as a colossal entity rooted in the Qingtian Realm.
During the period when the Longevity Hall ruled the Qingtian Realm.
The Longevity Hall was secretly conducting a search for that supreme treasure.
Only.
They had yet to find the Wan'gu Tian Tomb when Zhao Wuji brought a devastating blow, causing the entire Azure Heaven Continent to shatter and further severely injuring the Heavenly Dao of the Qingtian Realm.
As one of the Nine Beasts of Longevity from the former Hall of Longevity.
The Food Realm Beast understood this extremely well.
At this moment, when it suddenly heard that the divine treasure the Hall of Longevity sought so hard with all its resources ended up in the hands of Xiao Yi, and that he had broken through to the Saint King realm in less than a century using this treasure.
The gaze of the Food Realm Beast towards Xiao Yi suddenly became fervent, with more than a hint of admiration: "Back then, the Hall of Longevity spent so much manpower and resources, so much time, and never found a trace of this treasure, and yet this human possesses it. He must be a heaven's chosen beloved by the world. Following such a chosen one is not too bad a thing!"
The reason the Food Realm Beast stayed in the Hall of Longevity back then was because the Hall gave him many resources every year.
They would even take him to higher-level worlds to excavate and devour those realm barrier crystals.
But now...
The Hall of Longevity had long vanished into the depths of the void.
And the Longevity Realm had already severed its ties with the Qingtian Realm.
He could only roam around in the Chaotic Void near the Qingtian Realm.
Stuck in the Saint King realm for many years!
If he could follow Xiao Yi, perhaps the opportunity to advance might soon arrive?
With this thought.
The Food Realm Beast called out to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, I am willing to follow you..."
"Wait a moment!"
Xiao Yi wasn't in the mood to deal with the Food Realm Beast right now; he hadn't expected the chubby cat before him to have such keen insight. Squinting, he asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Although even in the past Nine Heavens Domain, the Heavenly God Race was a top dominant power.
Xiao Yi did not believe...
That just any Divine King could know the secrets of the divine treasure.
Facing Xiao Yi's gaze, which seemed to see through hearts, the fat cat shrugged its plump shoulders, then exuded an aura of bleakness and calmly said, "I am the seventh son of the clan leader of the Heavenly God Race, Prince Ling Feng!"
Ling Feng?
The seventh prince of the Heavenly God Race?
Xiao Yi was taken aback, never expecting that the Artifact Spirit he casually brought back would turn out to be the Crown Prince of the Heavenly God Race in the past?
The fat cat Ling Feng raised its chin proudly.
The Food Realm Beast beside could not take it anymore.
If it weren't for the fat cat stealing the spotlight, Xiao Yi wouldn't have made it wait aside first. Now, seeing the fat cat's smug look, it was even more infuriated and said grumpily, "So what if you're the seventh prince? You're still in a sorry state..."
Fat cat Ling Feng: "..."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Fat cat Ling Feng glared fiercely at the Food Realm Beast, then looked at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, I know many secrets from back in the Nine Heavens Domain days. I can assist you in discovering the many hidden treasures left behind. But I have only one request..."
Xiao Yi looked at him, signaling him to speak.
The fat cat said seriously, "If you agree, when you break through to the Saint Emperor Realm, take me to the Blissful Heaven Realm. Paradise Island opens every ten thousand years, firstly to find a body for me to possess, and secondly to search for the fallen treasury of the Heavenly God Race. I am certain our treasury is in the Blissful Heaven Realm, and if you help me find it, I will share half with you!"
Looking at the earnest expression on the fat cat's face.
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I agree to your request!"
"A pleasant cooperation!"
The fat cat sighed with relief, jumped up high, and its plump paw completed a high-five with Xiao Yi.
A pact was made between the two.
Then...
Xiao Yi turned his gaze to the Food Realm Beast.
The Food Realm Beast no longer showed any arrogance; it was now like a loyal dog, smilingly looking at Xiao Yi, "Master, I am willing to follow you..."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, then said, "Then why are you still standing there? Go quickly and help me dig a path back to the Qingtian Realm..."
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
The Food Realm Beast nodded eagerly and, as soon as Xiao Yi released him from the Wan'gu Tian Tomb, it pounced onto the layer of barrier between the two realms.
Watching the Food Realm Beast diligently digging the realm passage, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, "At this rate, in about another half a day, this passage will be broken through!"
However...
Xiao Yi did not know at that moment.
As he was about to break through the realm passage, in the Qingtian Realm, a breathtaking upheaval was quietly unfolding...
