The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1081 - 419: Evolution, Scripture Frog!_2

"The King of the South and the North, these are a pair of twin Fond Spirits bearing emblems, individually only accomplishing Supreme Holy Completion, but once combined, they can reach the boundary of Half-Step Deity."

"They are incredibly mysterious, capable of establishing ultra-long-range channels between each other, for instance, placing one in the West Sea and the other in the Cloud Sea, they can traverse and arrive in an instant, with terrifyingly potent functionality..."

"There is also Elder Xuanji, who once came very close to achieving Crown Rank, and among his Contracted Fond Spirits, there was one that governed the path of space..."

The secrets of the Ancient Era mentioned by Lie Xinxin, Ye Hanjun only had a few he had heard of.

It seemed that the legacy of the Asura King still had its limitations, struggling to encompass all of the heavens and ten thousand races.

With a thought, Ye Hanjun suddenly asked,

"Sister Xin, do you have good impressions of places like ’Broken Instrument Valley,’ ’Giant Kun Valley,’ ’Totem Tomb,’ and ’Sprite Tomb’?"

"The information obtained recently suggests that these Supreme Clans are becoming more and more active since entering the Second Epoch of the New Era."

"Basically, they all have experienced self-sealing at some point, some due to grievous injuries needing rest, some disliking interaction with the outside world... In any case, they all seem quite dangerous in my impression. How do you view them?"

Lie Xinxin blinked and the transformed Sun Witch revealed a hint of a laugh,

"’Broken Instrument Valley’ is known as the sacred land of soldiers, ’Giant Kun Valley’ is touted as the mother’s nest of insects, ’Totem Tomb’ is the only camp with Fond Spirits bearing emblems, and ’Sprite Tomb’ gathers the most elite of the Origin Fond Spirits."

"To judge them, I am not qualified."

"However, even during the Ancient Era, these four places were among the most mysterious."

"There are similar places like ’Demon Spirit Tomb,’ ’Star Tomb,’ ’Desolate Tomb’..."

"At the peak of the Solar Abyss, neither Goddess Ba nor any other Guardian Divine would underestimate these places connected to the origins of species, always giving them the utmost respect."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that they coexist peacefully; if enmity is established, then that’s another matter..."

After some idle chatter, Ye Hanjun did not receive any particularly valuable answers.

Of these locales, he was most concerned with ’Broken Instrument Valley’ and ’Sprite Tomb.’

The Contracted Fond Spirits by his side, Absolute String was "Soldier," Sword Thunder Child was "Origin."

Their future growth might need to deal with these places related to the origins of species, so adding to the intelligence was never a bad thing.

Unfortunately, Lie Xinxin also only knew of their profound depths, and ordinary Divine Clan members wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

Anything involving secrets was beyond her knowledge.

Moreover, with the passage of time into the New Era, it was truly impossible to know the full extent.

"Big Tadpole, I’m so sleepy..."

"No, my eyelids keep fighting, this GuaGua is going to take a nap..."

Perched on the shoulder, GuaGua, who had been listening intently to the gossip at first, suddenly grew sleepy.

Struggling for quite a while but unable to go on, it simply dived into Ye Hanjun’s arms and wrapped itself in his clothes to sleep.

"Huh?"

Ye Hanjun noticed a faint golden light, twinkling on the little creature’s body like stars.

He immediately showed a look of surprise, interrupted the conversation, and activated "Talent Identification."

——

[Current State]: Ancient God Protection / Lifespan Transition (in progress) / Bloodline Transformation (in progress) / Sleeping / Healthy /...

——

"GuaGua is evolving too?"

Ye Hanjun scratched the little one’s chin, first surprised, then delighted.

Of the nine Contracted Fond Spirits, five have now found their footing in Holy Saint Embryo.

The remaining ones, GuaGua, Goose Immortal, Huazhu, Aegifura, were still striving to Sprint.

Unexpectedly, shortly after Absolute String ascended a few days ago, the sixth to reach a turning point in fate turned out to be this carefree little one.

"I wonder how long it will take..."

"The previous evolutions seemed to be quite fast."

"This time it suddenly wants to sleep, I guess it needs time to brew..."

Since the Ordeal of Night began, the one who had truly accompanied Ye Hanjun’s growth was always GuaGua.

He was really looking forward to what form this naturally born and exceptionally rare Pure Beast would transform into behind its extreme rarity and preciousness.

Would its consistent purity further elevate to a new level?

Would the unrivaled supremacy that had always been unattainable be within grasp in the next stage?

With such curiosity, Ye Hanjun waited for ten years.

Traveling from the Cloud Sea all the way to the West Sea, midway through the journey, GuaGua finally awoke.

"Whoosh~~~"

A rainbow light descended from the sky, marking an unusual morning.

In far-off villages, simple villagers saw the sky filled with dawn’s light and thought it a divine sign, unable to help but kneel down and worship excitedly.

Yet, at the source, Ye Hanjun simply took out GuaGua from his trouser pocket, as if picking the brightest star from a splendid galaxy, the dazzling spots of light reflected on his face, the sacred glow piercing the heavens.

"Holy Beasts, although they bear the title ’holy,’ do not necessarily relate to sanctity."

"Yet this little one does not show the slightest hint of divinity, its impeccable jade-like texture seems branded deep within its bones, incapable of being erased for a lifetime..."

Lie Xinxin was originally basking in the sunlight, absorbing the first rays of dawn to invigorate her spirit.

Her light footsteps glided over from the other side of the mountain, her fervent excitement leaping across the distance, unabashedly soaring in her eyes.

Ten years is a mere drop in the ocean for Holy Spirits.

But for GuaGua, it was a leap in its life, a refinement of its bloodline.

It was no longer a Shining World Fetus, no longer a beast of the mortal world.

Supreme Saint — lofty enough to peek at Deity, humbling enough to gaze upon all beings, perhaps only one among billions upon billions could have the chance to ascend.
