NOVEL WEB Chapter 45
“Beep, it’s a Kunpeng! It’s just in its juvenile stage, but still at the Great Ascension level! Please treat it well, host!”
“Kunpeng”: A legendary ancient divine beast with limitless growth potential, one of the strongest beings in the myriad realms. It can freely soar in the sky or swim effortlessly in the ocean!
Upon hearing this…
Ye Junlin felt ecstatic. A handsome cultivator like him should definitely have a flashy mount!
Relying solely on himself to fly around? That’s just too pathetic!
Fortunately, the system was somewhat reliable and compensated him with an ancient divine beast, Kunpeng, as his mount!
What a perfect weapon for showing off on the battlefield!
“Huh?” Hong Qianye looked up, puzzled to see him so happy without a hint of anger, feeling quite frustrated inside.
Damn, why’s he acting so weird out of nowhere?!
“What the heck?!”
“Master!”
Suddenly, a creature with a rat’s head and a human body excitedly ran over, holding a red invitation.
It was wearing a pink skirt, with smooth, snow-white skin, resembling a petite loli, exuding youthful energy.
But that fluffy rat head on its neck looked completely out of place, grinning in a cartoonish way.
“Xiaoxi, what do you have there?” Ye Junlin asked curiously.
Bai Xiaoxi waved the invitation excitedly, saying, “This is an invitation from the sect leader to be delivered to you, Master!”
Ye Junlin took the invitation, opened it, and his face revealed a strange expression.
It turned out to be from the Ancestor of the Xue Family in Lingzhou, who had recently come out of seclusion after breaking through from Great Ascension to Tribulation Stage, shocking the Eastern Domain!
The Xue Family was overjoyed and specially sent invitations to prominent cultivators, hinting they wanted to leverage the ancestor’s breakthrough to enhance the family’s influence.
As everyone knows, those at the Great Ascension level are referred to as Venerables, but once they break through to the Tribulation Stage, they gain the title of Virtual Immortal!
After all, being associated with the “immortal” label signifies how powerful this level is.
Because one step further leads to the rumored True Immortal realm!
Now that realm is where true transcendents exist, beings standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, a level many cultivators yearn to reach!
At this moment…
Ye Junlin stroked his chin, with a hint of interest he remarked, “Inviting the Xuantian Sect to the banquet at this critical juncture seems like they’re trying to shake the mountain to scare the tiger, to boost the ancestor’s fame.”
Virtual Immortal? Is that impressive?
Just wait and see, I’ll pull off a stunt that’ll blow your mind!
“Beep! Random new mission triggered. The host must head to the Xue Family’s banquet with the new mount. Successfully shock the crowd, and a special reward will be granted!”
The system’s prompt chimed.
“System, this mission came at the perfect time. My show-off spirit is itching to be unleashed!” Ye Junlin grinned.
Not going out to flaunt a bit would be a waste of my new mount!
“Master, are we going?” Bai Xiaoxi asked.
“We’re leaving right now!”
Ye Junlin thought to himself, “System, summon the supreme-grade mount Kunpeng right away!”
“Beep! Summoning now for the host!”
Rumble…
From the depths of the endless sky, an immense and terrifying wave of pressure swept over, and a radiant light resembling a galaxy hung low, as a massive creature slowly emerged from the clouds, revealing its colossal body!
It was roaming high above, resembling a giant deep-sea whale, with massive wings flapping on either side.
The spiritual energy of the surrounding atmosphere instantly became chaotic, and a torrential gale spread everywhere.
Boom!
The Xuantian Sect trembled from the impact.
All the spirit beasts cowered to the ground, feeling an unprecedented bloodline suppression, trembling in fear, with excrement and urine spilling.
Countless disciples and elders looked up in shock and disbelief, their bodies freezing up in horror.
“What’s happening? Is a monster attacking our sect?!”
Cries of alarm filled the air, and panic spread.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Xu Yonian and others swept from the main peaks, staring at the gigantic creature with eyes wide in shock.
“Leader, this is actually a supreme-grade beast at the Great Ascension level!”
“Why is it here? Could it be sent by the Yuhua Sect?”
“In such an urgent time, we should activate the protective formation!”
“Hurry, activate the protective formation!”
Xu Yonian shouted anxiously.
Boom!!
The protective formation hidden in the Xuantian Sect was activated, with countless radiant halos rising, resembling a myriad of stars floating in the heavens.
The halos intertwined and formed a mystical star map, prepared to repel the increasingly approaching giants.
Due to Ye Junlin’s adjustments, the protective formation had received a significant upgrade and could block ordinary Great Ascension attacks!
However, now, in front of that terrifying creature, the protective formation was visibly shaking, seemingly unable to withstand even its pressure!
“Ah! The monster’s coming!” Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaoxi squatted down, hugging her head in fright, her rat face full of terror.
“This… this can’t be…” Hong Qianye gasped in disbelief, breathing quickly. With his sharp eyes, he instantly recognized the identity of the gigantic creature.
This was one of the strongest ancient divine beasts of legend, the Kunpeng!
Ye Junlin’s gaze flickered, nodding in satisfaction.
This Kunpeng, though still in its juvenile phase, displayed terrifying might. Surely even those eighteen core elders would be easily torn apart by it; if it further matured, its power would be beyond imagination!
At this moment, Hong Qianye took two steps back, showing signs of wanting to flee.
No joke!
With this ancient divine beast dropping in suddenly, if he got caught up in it, he’d be dead for sure.
He glanced back at the silver-haired youth, secretly thinking, “See? This is your retribution!”
He didn’t believe for a second that Ye Junlin could compete with the Kunpeng, even if they were both at the Great Ascension level; as one of the strongest ancient divine beasts, its combat power was indisputable!
Amid the rising panic, Ye Junlin soared into the sky like a shooting star.
“Look, the Peak Master is about to take action!”
A delighted disciple shouted.
“Be careful, Brother Ye!” Xu Yonian and the others urged nervously.
Right now, the only one who could counter that beast was the master of Mysterious Peak, the representative of the Xuantian Sect.
Unexpectedly, Ye Junlin directly waved his hand to deactivate the protective formation and stood still, waiting for the Kunpeng to come!
As the Kunpeng soared through the sky, exuding a kingly aura of overwhelming pressure, upon seeing Ye Junlin, its speed suddenly increased, accompanied by an overwhelming wave of energy rushing towards him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
As the Kunpeng approached Ye Junlin, many were petrified in fear.
“Is he trying to get himself killed…?” Hong Qianye muttered in shock.
The next second.
Just then, before numerous astonished eyes, the approaching Kunpeng lost its earlier fierce demeanor and now acted as sweet as a kitten, nuzzling its head gently against Ye Junlin.
Its behavior was extremely affectionate, a stark contrast to its gigantic size.
“Good boy, so good, from now on, you’ll stick with me,” Ye Junlin said, extending his hand with a smile touching his lips.
The Kunpeng excitedly swayed its body, opening its mouth to make jubilant sounds, appearing very happy and lively.
Seeing this, the Xuantian Sect fell completely silent.
Countless faces turned blank, mouths agape.
What the heck!?
“Did I just see that right? The Peak Master tamed it with a wave of his hand?” the disciples exclaimed, voices filled with disbelief.
“Leader, that beast seems to know Brother Ye!” the Cangjian Peak Master said, puzzled.
“Ah!”
A scream pierced the silence, and everyone looked over, “Sister Cai, what’s wrong?!”
The Tianxiang Peak Master clutched her full chest, looking at the colossal creature, shock evident in her beautiful eyes.
“Everyone, this beast looks just like the ancient divine beast called Kunpeng I read about in an ancient book.”
Kunpeng!
Ancient divine beast!
Upon hearing these two terms, everyone’s hearts twitched.
“Sister Cai, now that you mention it, I remember too! But according to descriptions in the book, an adult Kunpeng is enormous and capable of swallowing planets, roaming through the myriad realms. But this Kunpeng is clearly vastly different from the legends.”
Xu Yonian swallowed hard, “I think it’s because this Kunpeng is still in its juvenile phase!”
“Sizzle!!”
Everyone gasped in astonishment.
Such a rare ancient divine beast actually appeared in the Xuantian Sect and was obedient to Brother Ye?!
What on earth is happening!?
