Chapter 1143: Open the Qinglian Casket

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Beast Garden.

Shen Long sat in a green stone pavilion, the Qinglian Casket placed before him.

A dazzling beam of spiritual light bloomed from the center of his brow, and a crimson spear shot out from it—divine soul transformation!

The Qinglian Casket was sealed with a Divine Soul Forbidden Spell. When he was in the True Immortal Realm, his divine soul wasn’t powerful enough to break the restriction.

Now that he had ascended to the Golden Immortal stage, he intended to try again.

The crimson spear struck the Qinglian Casket. Its surface shimmered with a golden glow, revealing a thin golden membrane.

When the crimson spear pierced the golden membrane, it shattered like a bubble, and the casket lid opened automatically.

Li Yunxiao picked up the Qinglian Casket and gently poured its contents onto the table. A golden spirit beast egg and a golden storage bracelet appeared.

The golden spirit beast egg had natural white patterns decorating its surface, radiating soft golden light.

"Is this truly a descendant of a divine beast?"

Shen Long’s gaze burned with excitement.

According to the high-ranking members of the Chili Clan, the Qinglian Casket contained a spirit beast egg that was said to be a divine beast descendant.

Yet Shen Long wasn’t certain of its authenticity; only by hatching the egg could its truth be revealed.

The golden spirit beast egg began trembling violently, as though it were alive.

Suddenly, the egg shot into the sky.

"Quite the temper it has!"

Shen Long chuckled, releasing a golden ring of light from his right hand to envelop the golden spirit beast egg—this was the power of the Time Law.

The golden spirit beast egg collided with the golden ring and began to slow down.

Shen Long carried the egg into the Myriad Beasts Tower, arriving at the first layer.

He placed the spirit beast egg in the Spirit Control Pool and gazed at the murals on the stone walls.

The golden spirit beast egg emitted a dazzling golden glow that enveloped the Spirit Control Pool.

The Pixiu motif on the wall seemed to come alive, ferociously baring its claws and fangs.

Shen Long had used the Spirit Control Pool to hatch many spirit beast eggs before, but he had never seen something like this.

He descended before the Pixiu motif and injected immortal yuan power into it. The motif emitted a blinding spiritual light and responded with a deafening beastly roar.

The Spirit Control Pool illuminated with a gentle radiance, engulfing the golden spirit beast egg.

A beastly roar reverberated across the heavens, followed by an explosive surge of golden light.

Shen Long turned his gaze to the Spirit Control Pool and saw a massive golden alien beast.

This creature had a body resembling that of a tiger or leopard, a head similar to a flood dragon, white wings on its shoulders, and a single white horn on its forehead. Its eyes gleamed in snowy white.

"A True Immortal phase Pixiu!"

Shen Long instantly recognized the lineage of the golden beast before him.

The golden alien beast resembled a Pixiu while differing slightly, yet there was no doubt it was a Pixiu descendant.

While the Nightmare Beast, as a True Spirit descendant, hatched directly into the Fifth Tier, this Pixiu had hatched into the True Immortal Realm. Shen Long was caught off guard.

The Pixiu let out a thunderous roar as its golden light intensified, transforming into a boy roughly seven or eight years old.

"Who are you?"

The boy asked in a childish voice.

"As expected of a divine beast descendant! Hatched straight into the True Immortal Realm! I am your master."

Shen Long grinned broadly.

"Master? I haven’t acknowledged you yet!"

The boy responded haughtily.

Shen Long smiled faintly, releasing a golden ring of light from his right hand toward the boy.

With a flicker, the boy became a blur, reappearing immediately before the stone wall. His golden-glowing fist struck the stone wall.

With a dull thud, the stone wall remained unmoved.

The boy’s face twisted in pain, his right hand trembling uncontrollably as the golden ring of light swept over his body.

"Ti...me..."

The boy’s eyes revealed utter shock, his voice dragging out ever so slowly.

Shen Long deftly pinched a spell, dispersing the golden ring of light, allowing the boy to return to normal.

"Remember, it’s me who decides to take you in; only then can you call me your master. It isn’t about you acknowledging me; I am already your master."

Shen Long corrected him.

"Master!"

The boy submitted reluctantly.

With his current strength, he was no match for Shen Long.

"From now on, your name will be Shen Pixiu. Now hold still while I plant a restriction."

Shen Long instructed, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood and pinching a spell.

The essence blood rolled and churned, morphing into countless grain-sized profound mystery characters.

The glowing runes spiraled together, forming a miniature blood-red flood dragon that rushed toward Shen Pixiu.

Shen Pixiu remained motionless, allowing the blood-red flood dragon to pierce into his forehead.

Shen Long pulled out a vestment robe and dressed Shen Pixiu in it.

He led Shen Pixiu to the tenth layer, where he found Shen Peng and tasked him with guiding Shen Pixiu.

"Take these immortal pills and use them wisely. I hope you can soon comprehend powerful laws."

Shen Long handed two golden porcelain bottles to Shen Pixiu.

"Thank you, Master."

Shen Pixiu expressed his gratitude and collected the bottles.

Shen Long left the Myriad Beasts Tower and picked up the golden storage bracelet from the table, giving it a slight shake.

A burst of golden radiance swept across, leaving a massive pile of items on the table.

Over five thousand middle-grade immortal yuan stones, four middle-grade immortal artifacts, a batch of immortal elixirs, and some refining materials.

The four middle-grade immortal artifacts were the Snow Soul Sword, Seven Stars Thunder Umbrella, Seven Stars Vase, and Seven Stars Beads. Shen Long picked up the Seven Stars Vase, noticing how lightweight it felt.

Thinking of something, he entered the Myriad Beasts Tower and activated a spell.

The Seven Stars Vase emitted a dazzling silver light, grew larger, and its stopper flew off. A mass of yellow flames erupted forth, rapidly raising the temperature.

"Second Rank Immortal Flame!"

Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

The yellow flame suddenly condensed, transforming into a massive yellow kylin. The surrounding space distorted, cracked, and shattered under the unbearable heat.

The yellow kylin lunged toward Shen Long, bringing with it an immense wave of heat.

Shen Long struck out with a punch, creating a deafening gust of wind as a golden giant fist materialized and smashed into the yellow kylin.

The thunderous impact caused the yellow kylin to explode, scattering into a mass of yellow flames.

The scattered flames seemed guided by an unseen force, rapidly coalescing into a yellow kylin once again.

As the yellow kylin formed, a golden giant fist shot toward it, striking its body.

The resulting explosion scattered the kylin into yellow flames once more. Immediately, a golden ring of light swept over the scattered flames, freezing them in mid-air.

A green fire phoenix swooped in, swallowing a twentieth of the yellow flames. Shen Long then used the Seven Stars Vase to collect the remaining flames.

Once the Qinglian True Flame consumed these Second Rank Immortal Flames in batches, it would undoubtedly ascend to the Second Rank.

Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower, his gaze landing on a green beast hide.

The green beast hide was a map, densely covered with text, with the words "Nine Suns Immortal Mansion" written prominently at the top.

"Nine Suns Immortal Mansion! What kind of place is this?"

Shen Long murmured to himself, his face full of puzzlement.

He had never heard of the Nine Suns Immortal Mansion. Could the divine beast descendant have come from there? Or was it a treasure map? Perhaps a ruin of some great power?

The resources in the storage bracelet were specifically suited for Golden Immortal cultivators. After examining all the jade slips within the bracelet, Shen Long found several mentioning the Tiangong Immortal Domain.
