When the blue eyed Jade Crystal Beast pounced on Ye Mo, he thought he was dead for sure. Next, he lost his consciousness. But when Ye Mo regained his consciousness, he saw the Jade Crystal Beast blanking out before him. Its eyelids were drooped low while its four limbs were close together. It looked like a completely confused animal.
What exactly was going on here?
Was this still the same powerful beast that had killed Mo Liefeng with a single hit and proceeded to chase after him?

Little thing, if you want to kill me, just do it. Stop messing around with me,
Ye Mo stood up and said, fear on his face.
Howl. Howl.


When Ye Mo said that, the cub showed a wronged expression on its face as it rubbed its head against Ye Mo.

Little thing, you can understand human speech?
Ye Mo asked when he saw that the Jade Crystal Beast wasn’t attacking him.
Some beasts had the intelligence of humans. This Jade Crystal Beast was clearly no ordinary beast. It was already able to instantly kill a mid-stage Energy Burst Realm expert when it was a cub. The cub paused for a while before nodding repeatedly.

Why are you here?
Ye Mo asked when he saw that the beast could understand him.
The Jade Crystal Beast shook its head repeatedly, revealing that it was clueless as well.
Ye Mo asked,
Why haven’t you killed me? I attacked you earlier.

Howl!
The Jade Crystal Beast howled a few times before it started licking Ye Mo’s face intimately.
Ye Mo was inwardly overjoyed. From how the beast was behaving, it was clear the beast had no hostility towards him. Instead, the beast had some sort of attachment to him.

Will you listen to me?
Ye Mo asked the question that he was the most concerned about.


Howl!
The Jade Crystal Beast howled a few times before nodding cheerfully.
Ye Mo roared with laughter before picking the cub up and started petting its head.
Haha, I seem to have picked up a treasure. This fellow was able to kill a mid-stage Energy Burst Realm expert with one hit. So does this mean I have a powerful assistant by my side at all times now?

The beast seemed to enjoy being in Ye Mo’s embrace greatly. Nobody could guess that an adorable cub like this had killed a mid-stage Energy Burst Realm expert with one hit.
Next, Ye Mo thought of another issue. It might be good to have a powerful assistant by his side but this would attract the envy of others. His future at the Door of Desolation was still unknown. It would not be proper for Ye Mo to bring this cub along.

What should I do?
Troubled, Ye Mo rubbed his head.

Howl. Howl.

The Jade Crystal Beast seemed to understand what Ye Mo was troubled about. It howled a few times before glowing with a golden radiance. Its body started reducing in size before ultimately turning into a gold statue the size of a thumb.

This?
Ye Mo watched in astonishment. This Jade Crystal Beast was too powerful. With this transformation, he could easily take it with him without it being discovered. And when he encountered danger, the beast could even help him.
Ye Mo had reaped a great harvest from this trip, obtaining a top tier beast for himself.



Try reverting to your form,
said Ye Mo. The cub transformed back to how it was and started jumping around on the ground.

Are you willing to follow me?
asked Ye Mo.
The little cub nodded. It seemed completely obedient.

Then I will give you a name. Let’s call you Xiao Jing,
Ye Mo said after a short contemplation.
Howl. Howl.
The little cub nodded joyfully before leaping into Ye Mo’s embrace. With Xiao Jing in his arms, Ye Mo prepared to leave. Suddenly, Xiao Jing jumped off his arms and pointed in a certain direction while howling at Ye Mo. Ye Mo raised his brows and slowly walked over. Next, his eyes lit up as he saw three weapons where the cub was pointing.
There were three Spirit Weapons here.

This little cub.
Ye Mo crouched down and patted Xiao Jing’s head. Hong Ling had already devoured 17 weapon spirits. She only needed three more to reach the milestone of 20 weapon spirits, completing one-fifth of the 100 she required.
Ye Mo was rather astonished by this speed. Others would probably think Ye Mo had gone crazy if they found out he had fed his weapon 20 Spirit Weapons. Since it was troublesome to carry Spirit Weapons around, Ye Mo planned to have Hong Ling devour these three Spirit Weapons there and then before he resumed his journey to Door of Desolation.
Hong Ling was unable to establish any connection with Ye Mo. The only way the two could communicate was for Ye Mo to enter the human spear unity mode.



Hong Ling, three more weapon spirits for you,
Ye Mo said with a smile.

Ye Mo, you reaped a great profit. Do you have any idea what previously happened?
asked Hong Ling with a smile.

You know everything?
After he was beaten unconscious, he had woken up to find Xiao Jing turning completely obedient. The sudden transformation was indeed confusing for him.
Hong Ling explained calmly,
Not only do I know; I even know the history of the Jade Crystal Beast. It was a mount of the Dragon God and not a beast of the secular world. From the looks of it, it must have been killed and had its soul scattered. After painstaking cultivation over a millennium absorbing the essence of the gold crystal, it obtained rebirth.


What? Mount of Dragon God? Secular world? What do you mean exactly?
Ye Mo was greatly alarmed.

Simply put, the Lingwu Continent is merely a single continent, a secular realm. Warriors of a secular realm will never have full control over their fate regardless of their strength. Those in the secular realm are mortals. So what if you are a Transcendence Realm mortal? Compared to supreme beings, you are still insignificant.
Hong Ling continued giving Ye Mo information he had never heard before.
Beyond the secular realm, there is a heavenly realm.


Heavenly realm? What is that?
Ye Mo originally thought that the Lingwu Continent was the entirety of existence. It would seem like he was simply too insignificant to know more.

It won’t benefit you to know too much this early. The only thing you need to know is that the Jade Crystal Beast is from the heavenly realm and had fallen to the secular realm after its death. Why did it change its attitude towards you? Because the Dragon God within you had awakened again after you lost your consciousness. The dragon god only told the Jade Crystal Beast one thing,
said Hong Ling, keeping Ye Mo in suspense.

What did the Dragon God say?
Ye Mo asked.

Assist him!
Hong Ling said.



Assist me?
Ye Mo’s eyes widened. Then he glanced at the cub, seeing that the cub had already fallen asleep in his embrace.
Ye Mo was greatly alarmed. This information was too much of a shock for him.
Perhaps this Jade Crystal Beast is actually the mount of the dragon at the top of the Rising Dragon Pillar within me?


Yes. Moreover, this fellow is not only strong, but it is also very sensitive towards rare resources. Perhaps, with a single sniff at the air, it would be able to locate the materials of some rank five pills,
Hong Ling said.
Ye Mo tried his best to digest the information while Hong Ling started devouring the three weapon spirits. After a few hours, Hong Ling was done.

After the delay, I need to hasten my pace to the Door of Desolation.
