Chapter 949: Chapter 521: Tribulation Crossing

Li Shiming’s goal in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven was already achieved, and even exceeded his expectations. The ascent of the Illusion Spirit Jiao to the fourth grade was an unexpected joy.

He stayed by the volcano, watching the Illusion Spirit Jiao and the little chick frolicking together.

Due to the contract, both the Illusion Spirit Jiao and the little chick were Li Shiming’s spiritual pets. Although they competed for favor, there was no hostility between them, and they got along quite well.

There were only ten Third Grade Top Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pills, but Li Shiming promised the Illusion Spirit Jiao and the little chick that there would be plenty more in the future, and he distributed the remaining pills between the two.

To help the little chick store the Third Grade Top Spiritual Beast Essence Boosting Pills, he even equipped it with a Space Ring.

Despite its small size, the little chick’s powerful soul allowed it to use the Space Ring to store and retrieve items.

In Li Shiming’s view, given the little chick’s potential, it wouldn’t need the Space Ring once it grew a bit older, as powerful spirit beasts all have their own storage methods.

A day passed quickly, and when the time was about right, he transformed the Illusion Spirit Jiao into a small form wrapping around his wrist, while the little chick perched on his shoulder.

Not long after he prepared, a surge of spatial energy enveloped his body, and his figure disappeared from the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven.

Li Shiming’s figure appeared in the valley. He was about to greet Grandmaster Hu and leave when he suddenly felt something was amiss.

Above his head, thunderclouds were faintly gathering.

“Master Li, did one of your spiritual pets break through to a higher realm in the Grotto Heaven?” Grandmaster Hu appeared beside him and asked aloud.

“Yes, one of my spiritual pets broke through to the fourth grade!” Li Shiming admitted without concealment, nor did he need to hide it.

Grandmaster Hu was eyeing the Illusion Spirit Jiao on his wrist as he spoke. The Illusion Spirit Jiao wasn’t in hiding and appeared as a small decoration.

“There’s no Heavenly Tribulation within the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Heaven, but once you leave, the tribulation will come. I’ll take you to Tribulation Mountain!” Grandmaster Hu spoke leisurely.

He grabbed Li Shiming’s shoulder, and Li Shiming only felt the scenery around him quickly changing, appearing on Tribulation Mountain in just half a breath’s time.

The speed was almost comparable to the Divine Foot Skill.

“Quickly release your spiritual pet; you cannot be involved in its tribulation, or it will increase the difficulty of the tribulation!” Grandmaster Hu reminded him aloud.

Li Shiming immediately awoke from his thoughts and released the Illusion Spirit Jiao.

He had prepared some Fourth Grade High-level Spirit Pills for healing and supplementing spiritual power for the Illusion Spirit Jiao, which were all placed in its storage space. These were all prepared for it in advance.

Now, they could be used for the tribulation, providing the Illusion Spirit Jiao some means to overcome it.

“Ah, Master Li is quite capable, this is a Five-clawed Dragon, currently the spiritual pet with the strongest Dragon Clan bloodline in the sect!” Grandmaster Hu couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the Illusion Spirit Jiao reveal its true form.

He had long sensed the uniqueness of the Illusion Spirit Jiao, but he never thought it would turn out to be a Five-clawed Dragon.

The Five-clawed Dragon represented the Illusion Spirit Jiao’s potential, at least reaching the Late Stage Fourth Grade, equivalent to a Great Cultivator’s level, without any issues.

The only limitation was Li Shiming’s level as its owner, but with the potential of the Five-clawed Dragon, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect could completely afford the resources for Li Shiming to endure the Illusion Spirit Jiao’s advance to the Late Stage Fourth Grade when he reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s research on spiritual pets was not just talk. By consuming certain precious Spiritual Objects, they could achieve things other sects could never imagine.

“Master Li has gained greatly this time; besides the Five-clawed Dragon, he even successfully contracted with the Red Gold Phoenix. Looks like the eggshell fragment of the Red Gold Phoenix I gave wasn’t for nothing!” Grandmaster Hu remarked, looking at the little chick on Li Shiming’s shoulder.

“You mean the little chick is a Red Gold Phoenix?” Li Shiming said in surprise.

He truly hadn’t thought of this point. How could the little chick exude the majesty of a Phoenix, which was why he hadn’t considered it a Red Gold Phoenix?

Yet recalling the grand soul during the contract, it indeed seemed quite so.

“You call the Red Gold Phoenix ‘little chick’?” At this point, even Grandmaster Hu was a bit taken aback.

Embarrassed, Li Shiming shifted his gaze to the Illusion Spirit Jiao, unsure how to explain.

Grandmaster Hu’s look at Li Shiming carried a trace of indescribable meaning.

Li Shiming was truly too fortunate, possessing both the dense bloodlines of a Five-clawed Dragon and a Red Gold Phoenix as spiritual pets.

Any cultivator contracting either of these would receive the utmost attention within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, let alone having both.

Originally, Grandmaster Hu valued Li Shiming due to his alchemy skills, thinking he’d be of help in the future, hence offering Li Shiming some aid.

But the situation now changed. He developed a deeper interest in Li Shiming.

Both the Five-clawed Dragon and the Red Gold Phoenix, as long as they grew, could definitely become Late Stage Fourth Grade spiritual pets, part of the strongest combat forces of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Observing Li Shiming, who wasn’t even a hundred years old yet and had already achieved the Nascent Soul Stage, his talent was undeniable. It shouldn’t be an issue reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

“If this Five-clawed Dragon successfully withstands the Heavenly Tribulation, I’ll take him as a disciple!” Grandmaster Hu glanced at the Illusion Spirit Jiao again, having made up his mind.
