The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1313 - 499: Sha and Lao Liu

New Era, Second Epoch, Year 4320.

Absolute String emerged from seclusion, officially advancing towards Supreme Holy Completion.

It had not grasped any new skills; for a recent period, it seemed to be stuck in some sort of creative bottleneck.

Little GuaGua referred to this as "accumulation".

A long-term accumulation of various elemental inspirations, when the right time comes, if it could compose an everlasting supreme melody, wouldn’t that be more inspiring to the heart of the zither than a pile of ultimate skills?

Then—another 50 years passed.

The once riddled Western Yi Country was renewed, renamed "Grey Sun Country", henceforth becoming one of the key strongholds of Ye Hanjun.

Of course, there was no King here.

The royal family had only a very few branches surviving, and whether it was their rallying power or influence, they no longer received the recognition of the people.

The highly esteemed Ye Hanjun could only divide the country into seven states, selecting a respected Saint as the governor for each state to implement different management policies.

And in the central area surrounded by the seven states, the original royal palace area, the Gray Sun Temple was further expanded.

It was interconnected with the thunderous nests deep within the earth’s core; the seven Thunder Sword Grasses served both as Guardians and witnesses.

The disciples who came to worship not only paid respects to the Grey Sun God but also to the Thunder Sword Grass, to remember the Thunder Sword God who achieved divinity here.

Then, approaching the year 4450, the Grey Sun Country welcomed two "cuties".

In the private training area on the negative first floor of the Temple, the strong-bodied Goose Immortal, embracing another oddly-shaped bird, was tearfully elated:

"Great, great, great, Sha, you’ve finally come!"

"These years following caravans and traveling abroad, you’ve finally cultivated the Holy Beast Bloodline, it wasn’t in vain that I’ve been constantly thinking of you!"

"Ah! Big brother! Lighter!"

The fat bird being embraced had a shark head, the wings of a white crane, and the claws of a terror eagle.

Its wingspan was actually three hundred meters, but next to Goose Immortal, it looked feeble like an unloved delicate wife.

"Hahaha, a hug is a romance only a male bird would understand!"

"In these years following the Human Master, circulating through various Blessed Lands, inadvertently facing tumultuous tides, times and environments have changed..."

Goose Immortal patted the "Shark Falcon"’s plumage, with a fierce glint sweeping up and down his eyes, first with satisfaction then proudly saying:

"Not bad, you’ve finally shed your silly and dazed appearance!"

"Sharky sharky, your shark head should have really strong biting force, right? Later, I will take you for special training. Conveniently, the Thunder Grass at the door is pretty combative. They have never seen your kind; sparring with them will definitely yield great benefits!"

"Ah? What?"

Shark Falcon’s shark head swung to and fro, his eyes filled with panic:

"The door? Those seven sword grasses?"

"They are of the Thunder Attribute, and also from the Divine Trace Lineage, old Shark can’t beat them..."

"If you could beat them, then how could it be called special training?!"

Goose Immortal lifted his head, brimming with pride, saying:

"To tell you the truth, half of big brother’s dream has been fulfilled!"

"Wait for big brother to achieve Divine Enthronement, to win the renowned title of Heavenly Feather God in the Battle-Winning Divine Nest and make a name across the Nine Seas, Sha, you, this second brother, are going to have to carry a heavy burden!"

"Just relying on your current stage of Sacred Voidal Conduit, how could that be enough?"

"Here at your big brother’s place, there’s plenty to eat and drink, a huge amount of heavenly treasures and earthly riches."

"If you want to feast openly and achieve the best absorption effect, then you must fight day after day—bathing in fresh blood, that’s also the romance of a male bird!"

"Oh right, later I’ll introduce you to E, Jin and Jin."

"That E of yours, although it usually serves the Demigod of the Succubus Clan, it has already reached Supreme Holy Completion; you should really learn from it."

"As for Jin and Jin, they are a pair of Golden Crow brothers, very strong and very hardworking."

"They are now rebuilding their home at the Solar Abyss, the damage caused by the previous Primordial Spirit invasion has indeed kept them very busy..."

"Ah! Ahh!"

The pressure on Shark Falcon was immense; fine beads of sweat appeared on its hard shark head, and it said sheepishly:

"Big brother, based on what you said, doesn’t that make me the weakest?"

"Wouldn’t it be better for me to voluntarily take the last position among the brothers? Holding onto the title of the second brother feels uncomfortable all over..."

"Alas! You speak wrongly!"

Goose Immortal, with his carefree manner, alleviated its concerns:

"Your bloodline is the weakest, but you’ve evolved from Foolish Eagle to Sand Sculpture, and then from Sand Sculpture to Shark Falcon, eventually becoming the current Shark Falcon. Since you’re of the Holy Clan, why be timid?"

"Even if it’s difficult to catch up to your brothers’ pace now, once big brother achieves divinity, and bestows upon you the most primordial blood of the Gods, I’ll make sure you train to the level of the Holy Beast King!"

"Then... then I’ll continue to persevere..."

Shark Falcon used its white crane wings to wipe the sweat beads, its slightly trembling legs seemed worried about the future hardships and tribulations.

Meanwhile.

Ye Hanjun and GuaGua were staring at a massive thing in front of them; their vacant gaze had been maintained for five minutes.

What the hell is this...

Cow Horse Cow Horse, originally a very common, very weak species.

The Cow Horse that aided in its mutation when young, evolved into "Six-legged Cow Horse," and maybe that was slightly surprising.

Later it evolved into "Eight-legged Cattle Horse," and even Ye Hanjun felt it was an eye-opening experience.

Later ascending to the Heaven and Earth Stage, it was said to have evolved into "Sixteen-legged Cow Horse," and Ye Hanjun’s brain crashed for a moment, unable to imagine the specific form and structure.

Now... ascending to the Holy Saint Embryo...

This dense array of long legs, was creepily unnerving...

"Yi! Incredible! A peculiar oddity among oddities!"

"Seventy-two-legged Cow Horse, split it up, that’s 12 Lao Liu’s, my eyes are spinning..."

"Moo! Hui hui hui!"
