“Ha ha, ha ha, I am free, I am free!” The divine beast was so delighted. Bursts of dark mist poured out from his antennas over his entire body.

The divine beast watched this fog joyfully and thought fiercely, “Darn this seal, darn this curse, it has finally left my body! Ha ha, hooray to freedom!”

As Qin Wushuang looked at this divine beast that had appeared somewhat mad, he could not refrain from smiling. Thus, even though its a strong divine beast, it was capable of having unspeakable sorrow.

This world was truly miraculous: a divine beast that was as powerful as a Supreme Dao elite warrior could not gain freedom.

On the other hand, civilians as weak as moles or crickets could sometimes spend their last years in peace and without sickness.

The mystical nature went as far as being empathetic.

The divine beast roared madly and as if he had gone mad all of a sudden, he extended his antennas and shot out into his surrounding with a crazy energy. “Rumble, rumble!”

Instantly, the mountain stones cracked and the entire underground cave trembled violently.

The divine beast laughed. “Little one, go, let’s go!”

After he said this, without letting Qin Wushuang speak, he threw over an antenna and held Qin Wushuang’s waist. With the sudden rise of divine light, they had disappeared from the cave.

With a continuous rolling sound behind them, they made their escape.

When they rose above the island, the divine beast was happy and excited as he couldn’t refrain from laughing. “Qin Wushuang, right? Thank you, thank you for restoring my freedom!”

Qin Wushuang laughed bitterly. “Great divine beast, up to this point, I really have no clue what was going on. How were you sealed here?”

The divine beast was in a great mood as he laughed again. “This is a long story. I’ve been sealed here for at least three thousand years… At that moment, Golden Cicada was only an elite warrior of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, yet he was already powerful. He defeated me and sealed me on this island and forced me to become the protecting guardian divine beast for this island and serve ten thousand years time. Unexpectedly, ha ha, the heir of the Graceful Spiritual Bow returned quicker than imagined. This allowed me to serve a few thousand years less. I must thank you.”

Now Qin Wushuang had learned the backstory and he gave a long sigh. “Such a turn of events, indeed it will surprise the people. Great divine beast, this way, you can leave the Illusion Heavenly Lake freely?”

“Of course, I am not that stupid. If I stay here and if I get caught by them again, wouldn’t it be worse if they sealed me up again?”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “They cannot keep capturing you, can they?”

The divine beast responded with frustration, “The way the totem clan does things is never reasonable. When you said they won’t, they will. You cannot reason with them.”

From the tone of this divine beast, Qin Wushuang heard his profound restrain of fear to the totem clan. He could not refrain from asking, “Great divine beast, just how powerful is the totem clan?”

“How powerful? That’s hard to say. Among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, who is the strongest?”

Qin Wushuang said, “The Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is rumored to be at the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Most likely, he can break into the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.”

“For the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, after breaking the Ninth Calamity, he would only be at First Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, this would be too far away! The totem clan would have at least four or five people at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. As for the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, at least ten. For the Coagulate Spirit Supreme Dao Stage, twenty is a conservative assumption!”

Qin Wushuang was dazzled when he heard this. “This many?”

When calculating, this number was greater than the total number of Supreme Dao warriors from all the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Not to mention, they even had Genuine Supreme Dao warriors!

“You don’t believe me?” the divine beast asked with a faint smile.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, I feel it’s too inconceivable. Indeed, the totem clan is truly powerful. Would the totem clan have an elite warrior at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage?”

Initially Qin Yunran, the Second Chief had once said that the strongest warrior among the Tian Xuan Land should be at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. It was because at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, one could break free from all rule restraints and soar to the galaxia!

“Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage?” The divine beast gave a long sigh. “Perhaps, there might be. But I am not sure… I only know that at the Tian Xuan Land dimension, there might be some at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage.”

“There are those at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage?” Qin Wushuang was stunned, for this information was powerful.

The divine beast shook his head with confusion. “I don’t know, I only said that it’s possible. Of course, I only heard this from Golden Cicada.”

“Isn’t Senior Golden Cicada your enemy? Why would he tell you this information?”

The divine beast said with a wry smile, “Who said Golden Cicada is my enemy? I cannot beat him, it’s normal for me to get sealed by him. Since he did not kill me and did not make me bow down to him, I am already thankful. In fact, before he left the Karakorum Immortal Clan, he always came to talk to me. Too bad, I always admired him, unfortunately…”

“Eh…” Qin Wushuang felt that his stage was still less. Between those Supreme Dao elite warriors, after a defeat or victory, they could all accept it calmly and without stress.

“Qin Wushuang, I am telling you, this Golden Cicada is an incredibly eye-catching young man in the Tian Xuan Land in the past. Even the current Head Chief of the Karakorum Immortal Clan does not have as supportive of a voice as Golden Cicada. Unfortunately, this Golden Cicada does not have much fortune as he died so early on. Ah…”

Qin Wushuang fell into silence. Upon thinking of the style of a senior elite warrior, it truly made him long for it even more. To accept one’s defeat wholeheartedly, this was not something an ordinary person could have done.

“Alright, let’s stop with this nonsense. Qin Wushuang, if you don’t go out any sooner, they will judge you as a loser. Since I destroyed your transportation jade plate, I will be your free ride this time.” The divine beast grinned and continued, “Of course, you helped me to become free, so I owe you this. Remember, my name is Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast. The antennas you have seen are in fact, my whiskers. A Supreme Dao spiritual beast can transform their shape into anything.”

“Senior, this was only a gathering, it is by fate that I am here. I did not come to restore your freedom intentionally. No need to mention this favor.”

“How can that work? I never owe people, I am simply being grateful and wish to pass the favor.” The Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast laughed. “Qin Wushuang, pull out a piece of fur from my forehead when I say.”

“Senior, this is not offensive?”

“No, just do it when I instruct you to,” he reassured.

Qin Wushuang followed his advice and pulled one out.

“Ha ha, keep it in a safe place. In the future, if you need anything from me, just refine this fur and send your spiritual perception to me,” The Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast said with a grinning face.

Qin Wushuang was somewhat stunned. “Senior, this…”

“Take it, do not say that you don’t care about me owing you anything. Although we cannot beat Golden Cicada, I can take down any ordinary elite warriors at the Coagulate Spirit Supreme Dao Stage with one palm. After all, I am at the Sixth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage,” Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast said proudly. “However, in the next ten years, I will most likely be in dead solitary training to aim for another breakthrough of strength! In these ten years, you might not be able to contact me.”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “Alright, I will take it. For anything in the future, we will talk again if I am to need your help.”

“Yes, besides asking me to deal with elite warriors of the totem clan, all other things are fine.” The Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast was incredibly straightforward.

These were honest words. Certainly he would not have the courage to deal with the totem clan. For all outside the totem clan, for a divine beast at his level, indeed he did not have much fear.

Even if he were to encounter a few enemies that he could not beat, he could also retreat with confidence and ease.

Qin Wushuang took the fur and nodded. “Then I will not hold back. Senior, I also wish for you to increase your strength and enter the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage soon! Ha ha!”

“Ha ha, if I enter the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, then I can stand at the highest peak of the Tian Xuan Land!” Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast pictured this in his head. “Alright, sit tight, I will take you out of here!”

…

On the outside, even Qin Yunran was getting restless. As a month had passed, there was still no news from Qin Wushuang. Even he began to doubt whether something had happened to him. On this day, Qin Yunran could not hold back and sought the five totem elite warriors.

When Xuan Yuan Ba saw that Qin Yunran had come, he felt somewhat sad for the Qin Clan. The position of the Qin Clan among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates was in imminent danger. They had been on a downhill slope for some time now. Finally, a young talent was on the rise and just when he was approaching victory, such a thing has happened.

“Mr. Ba, all totem elite warriors, it’s a pleasure to meet with you all.”

Upon watching Qin Yunran walk over, Xuan Yuan Ba asked, “Yunran, what brings you here? Don’t bother with those rumors from the outside world, everything will be discussed when the time is reached.”

Qin Yunran said, “Mr. Ba, regardless of the rankings, I am more worried of Qin Wushuang’s safety. If it’s possible, the Qin Clan will give up on championship if the totem elite warriors open the barriers of the island…”

Xuan Yuan Ba shook his head. “Yunran, there is nothing you can do if the defenses are opened. That divine beast is at the Sixth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. You are not enough to yield to him with your strength.”

Qin Yunran was only at the Eighth Coagulate Spirit Supreme Dao Stage, still one step away from the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage not to mention the Sixth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.

Only if a totem elite warrior stepped into the situation would they have a chance to hold the beast at bay.

Qin Yunran knelt with one knee. “Please, help the Qin Clan, Mr. Ba.”

It was truly a sight to see an honorable man on his knee. Within Qin Yunran’s lifetime, he had only knelt to the heavens, the earth, and to the ancestors of the Qin Clan. He had never knelt to anyone from the outside world before.

Even before the totem clan, he had never knelt down.

Yet this time, he had given such great etiquette.

Xuan Yuan Ba said lightly, “Yunran, get up. Opening the defenses does not bide with the rules. Regardless, you must wait for the time limit.”

Chief Snow Cicada also said, “Qin Yunran, these are the rules set up by the five totem powerhouses together and they cannot be changed for anyone. Unless that Qin Wushuang is to come out, you can only wait for the time limit to be reached.”

Qin Yunran felt as if he were struck by electricity for he was dumbstruck. The time limit was two months. If he were to wait until that time, it could be too late. Yet before the totem elite warriors, how could this would be something he could change?

He left while feeling dazed. Finally, there was a desolate expression from Qin Yunran’s usual straightforward personality. Of course, Xin Tianchen had taken everything into his eyes.

Xin Tianchen often took joy from other people’s misfortune. He was beaming with joy and was one step away from mocking him in public.

Yet, Lei Ming from the Sound of Thunder Sect had not let go with his words as he mocked, “Brother Tianchen, wouldn’t you say this is extreme joy turning into great sorrow? Ha ha, before getting any rewards for the championship, he has lost his life.”

Xin Tianchen said with a face full of smiles, “This is hard to say. Maybe the disciples of the Qin Clan can create a miracle and cause the divine beast to surrender and drop from the sky!”

Qin Yunran shot a stern look at Xin Tianchen and Lei Ming.

All of a sudden, people ahead of them began cheering and crying out.

“Hm, what is that?”

“It’s the divine beast!”

“There seems to be a person with it, is that Qin Wushuang?”

In between cheers, from deep inside the Illusion Heavenly Lake, a lightning-like figure shot over like an arrow. Qin Wushuang dropped from the sky full of mighty power!

Xin Tianchen was completely dumbstruck. He even doubted whether or not he could trust his eyes. Creating a miracle, causing the divine beast to surrender, drop from the sky, everything seemed to have come true!

Qin Wushuang had rolled in on the back of that divine beast!
