"Good," said Qing Tian with a smile on his face before turning to look at the Super creatures.
'Not even I can do anything here, no matter how tempting it is to make Magica a Super Beast soul.'
Shaking his head, Qing Tian told the girls to sit still whilst he went to wash up real quick. The girls were a bit worried but nonetheless let Qing Tian go wash up.
Now that Qing Tian was able to separate himself from the girls, he entered his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal the instant he was out of sight from the two girls.
He stepped into his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal that had upgraded twice.
The Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was on the fourth layer, many things being unsealed.
The most noticeable was the ability he had stolen before from the Sky Poison Pearl, Purification.
Out of everything that had been recently unlocked, the things that really drew Qing Tian's attention was the Immortal Dragon Bone Grindstone, Gold-Rune Anvil, and the Antique Incense Burner.
The anvil and grindstone will be of great use in the future, which will allow Qing Tian to make a strong weapon.
The Antique Incense Burner will make Qing Tian's energy flow more rapidly, allowing him to progress faster in his Qigong and also execute techniques faster.
Finally, there was the vegetation he had unlocked.
The Defense Fruit Tree and the Physicality Fruit Tree.
The Defense Fruit Tree would have no effect on Qing Tian's defense, it will instead advance Qing Tian's Tempered Star Jade Essence.
The Physicality Fruit Tree will increase his lifespan, 50 years per Fruit with a max consumption of two fruits.
Looking around Qing Tian found more vegetation that had been unlocked.
A ten-thousand year old Chinese Parasol Tree that was meant for the Phoenix that was supposed to appear, but it was left in his Heavenly Universe.
A Perilla, Thyme, and Drunken Fragrance Tree that produces leaves and fruit specifically for cooking. Helping to produce a Heavenly meal that could even end up increasing strength permanently or produce amazing effects such as enlightenment.
As well as two Spiritual Beasts that Qing Tian had been waiting for.
The 5,000 Year Old Golden Medicinal Turtle and the 1,000 Years Old Clam.
However, that wasn't their age anymore after Qing Tian had them for such a long time. The 5,000 Year Old Golden Medicinal Turtle was instead 1,000,000 years old and the 1,000 Year Old Clam was 750,000 years old.
And finally, a Spirit Plum Tree and a Youth Cherry Tree.
The Spirit Plum Tree has no maximum Consumption but it's effects aren't too desired since it only removes impurities. However, when made into pills, it's effects change and can be used to slowly increase the strength of a beast.
Then there was the Youth Cherry Tree which has two effects. One effect that only affects those 5 years and younger and the chance to breakthrough in one technique/Qigong.
The Youth Cherry Fruit I've consumed by a 5 years and younger being, will receive a 10% increase in lifespan, potential, abilities, strength, and intelligence.
However, they only have a max consumption of 5, which is still very beneficial.
'Damn, I wish this had this when I was younger,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the Youth Cherry. 'I can give it to Han Yan instead and then my future children as well.'
However, the best reward from the fourth layer was the fact that Qing Tian could now spend four hits inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
Walking out of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal after washing up in the pond and eating his two fruits of Physicality which increased his lifespan by 100, Qing Tian headed on back to the two girls.
He found the two girls talking under a large tree, happily chatting and enjoying the atmosphere.
Qing Tian was mildly surprised at the fact that the two girls were even able to feel relaxed compared to how they were earlier.
Joining them, Qing Tian and the two girls spent the night at Super Paradise.
…
Waking up really early the next day, Qing Tian headed out after checking up on the sleeping girls.
He wanted to explore the place a bit more before having to leave later.
Qing Tian even wanted to set up an array to keep humans from finding this Super Paradise.
Walking around for a while, Qing Tian was jumped by the Echo Lion cub.
"Where did you come from?" Qing Tian said with a chuckle as he scratched the cub.
Suddenly, the Echo Lion's ears perked up and turned back before meowing sadly. It turned to Qing Tian before looking back, it did that one more time before running to where it was looking.
Qing Tian wondered what it had heard, despite his very inhuman senses, Qing Tian didn't hear anything.
Wondering what it could have been, Qing Tian decided to follow the Echo Lion cub and see what had called it.
Catching up to the Echo Lion cub and running right by its side, Qing Tian began to hear faint sounds of weak breaths.
Upon arriving at a huge cave, Qing Tian found a mature Echo Lion lying down in the ground weakly.
The mature Echo Lion was huge, about the size of a large hill. It looked sickly however, its lifespan was reaching its end and it knew that it was coming soon.
Mother Echo Lion didn't notice Qing Tian, and even if it did, it wouldn't do anything but focus on its cub.
The mother Echo Lion growled weakly as if it were speaking to its cub. Mother Echo Lion's eyes began to dim and before it died, it spit out it's life essence, hoping to make its cub stronger.
With the Life Essence out of its body, the Echo Lion's life force disappeared and it had died.
The Echo Lion cub began to cry and mew, letting out its grief. It stayed next to its mother and cried for a while more, prompting Qing Tian to leave since he didn't want to be in such a depressing atmosphere.
Qing Tian went back to the large tree where Qu Lili and Ji Yanran were already awake.
"Did you girls sleep well?" Qing Tian asked with a small smile.
"Yes, I felt like I hadn't slept in so long," said Ji Yanran, feeling extremely refreshed after waking up.
Qu Lili agreed, stretching her arms and feeling extremely relaxed.
Qing Tian chuckled and said, "Let's get ready to leave then, we can't stay here long."
"Why not?" asked Qu Lili.
"This place isn't meant for a Human to be in it," said Qing Tian. "This place was only made for Super Creatures so that they can live quietly and breed."
"W-what?!"
Both girls began blushing and Ji Yanran even gave Qing Tian a light punch on the chest before packing up her stuff with a red face.
Chuckling, Qing Tian put away everything and was ready to head out before hearing a roar. Qing Tian lifted his head and wondered why the Echo Lion cub was calling out to him.
He didn't know how, but he knew that the Echo Lion cub was calling out to him.
"Hold on, I'll be back in a bit," said Qing Tian as he dropped everything and went back to the huge cave where the Echo Lion had died.
As Qing Tian got closer to the cave, the air began to feel heavy and there was more green and trees in the area then before.
The sound of creaking wood entered Qing Tian's ears and a cry of meowing came from further ahead.
Realizing that the Echo Lion cub was fighting against another Super creature, Qing Tian quickly summoned Super wings that allowed him to travel through the air at lightning speed.
Within two seconds, Qing Tian arrived at the battle area and Qing Tian noticed a giant tree move around, attacking the Echo Lion cub as it tried to take the body and life essence of Echo Lion's mother.
'This didn't make sense, this tree's affinity is definitely Wood, why would it go for the Echo Lion's life Essence that's of the Sound element?'
Qing Tian pulled out his cracked sword and quickly fell down and chopped off the legs of the tree.
Looking around, Qing Tian didn't see any other creatures around until he heard a high pitched screech coming from the tree.
'It's not the tree…' thought Qing Tian as he further enhanced his eyes with the Heavenly Vision Technique and saw a weird looking snake on the branches of the tree.
The snake was as thick as a basketball and it was as long as your average hose. It was brown in color and easily blended into the tree, literally going unnoticed.
It blended so well with the tree that even Qing Tian didn't catch it until he used the Heavenly Vision Technique.
However, besides the fact that it blends so perfectly with the tree, the snake had no eyes or tongue. For something like that to still be able to navigate itself is pretty amazing.
Qing Tian wondered how it moved around when he suddenly remembered the sound life Essence.
'It travels around like a bat? Is that why it screeched earlier…' Qing Tian payed close attention to the snake as he checked if the Echo Lion was okay. After making sure the Echo Lion was okay, Qing Tian f faced the snake and the tree that slowly got back up.
It's legs reconnected and it stood angrily, its branches shaking and its leaves falling in anger. As if understanding the pain of the tree, the nearby small and normal trees all began to move and perform simple moves.
'Damn, this tree can control normal trees? Isn't this too strong for a First God's Sanctuary Creature? It will serve as a good tamed Beast,' thought Qing Tian as he brandished his cracked sword with no fear on his face.
Qing Tian was as strong as creatures of the next God's Sanctuary, he had no reason to fear these weak creatures. Especially with his Tempered Star Jade Essence Physique.
Qing Tian was about to pull out the Divine Marionette Pellet to force feed it to the tree, however, he soon dismissed the idea when he noticed that the trees weren't even at Mutant Level strength.
'It's too weak,' thought Qing Tian before pulling out his sword and cutting down the tree.
Chop!
Slice!
[Killed Super Wise Guardian. Beast soul gained. Meat Inedible. Life Essence available.]
Qing Tian smirked and quickly looked at the type of beast soul he got.
[Beast soul Type: Puppet]
Qing Tian instantly summoned it and sheathed his sword before transferring the super beast soul to the Puppet.
The Puppet was wooden and covered in bark, simple in appearance with no special features to it besides being able to regenerate quickly.
With no armor on it, Qing Tian controlled the puppet and sent it to fight the Sound Serpent.
Qing Tian felt as if he was the one fighting, his senses and consciousness had been seemingly plastered on the Puppet.
In just two moves, the snake was thrown into the air and the spear thrown through the Sound Serpent. The spear passed straight through Sound Serpent's mouth and straight through its body until it came out through it's tail.
[Killed Super Sound Serpent. Beast Soul gained. Meat Edible. Life Essence available.]
[Beast Soul Type: Ring and Stick]
'Ring and stick?'
Qing Tian looked at the information with curiosity, wondering what it could look like.
Rau!
Remembering where he was, Qing Tian smiled and turned to look at the Echo Lion cub.
"You're okay now," said Qing Tian with a nod.
Turning to the Sound Serpent and the Wise Guardian, Qing Tian smirked and summoned Magica the Horned Knight.
The instant she was summoned, she threw off her helmet and ran to the Sound Serpent. It bit off meat and chewed through bones, the blood was the only thing that was spared as it splattered on the young looking Knight.
Bite after bite, Magica began to grow bigger, her looks turning more beautiful by the second. Her armor slowly slimmed down and turned curvy to accommodate her body.
Her hair got longer and her skin became more fair.
'Truly a beauty,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the growing Magica.
Whilst looking at the growing Magica, Qing Tian was being nudged by the Echo Lion cub, calling for his attention.
"What is it, big guy?"
Qing Tian rubbed the head of the cub and looked at it in the eyes.
Rau!
The cub mewed lightly and turned its head to the light bluish-green life Essence. The cub walked over to it and then pushed it to Qing Tian.
"You want me to keep this?" Qing Tian asked as he pointed at the life Essence and then at himself.
Rau!
The cub nodded and then gestured to mother Echo Lion's dead body before clawing at the ground.
"In exchange for helping you make a grave for your mother…" Qing Tian smiled lightly and shook his head before going forward and helping out the cub in making a grave.
Qing Tian tried to the best of his abilities by trying various ways to make a huge whole, with a sword, a spear, his fists…
