Inside the sealed cave, Zhu Qin stared at Bai Wushang, making him feel uncomfortable.

Her gaze was initially cold and indifferent, but it was obvious that she was not close to him.

However, after Bai Wushang nodded twice, Zhu Qin’s gaze gradually solidified, becoming extremely aggressive.

It was as if a wild beast was getting close, ready to eat him from the inside out.

Bai Wushang’s heart trembled. He wondered if what he sensed at that moment was a strong battle intent.

Without the time to think carefully, the red-haired woman lowered her eyes and suddenly restrained all her aura.

She coldly spat out two words–

“Too weak.”

Her words did not have much of a tone. It was as if she was stating an objective fact that could not be any more normal.

Bai Wushang’s heart paused. He half-opened his mouth and did not know what to say.

This woman’s achievements so far included the little flame sparrow of the ancient bloodline, the mature form Fire Jade Devil Spider, the unknown bloodline talent, her mysterious background… all of them were far above him.

She said that he was weak, so there was no room for rebuttal.

“Roar…”

Ah Zhou was not willing to accept such an evaluation.

From its point of view, its master only lacked time, and it was the same.

Immediately, Ah Zhou saw little flame sparrow and the red-haired woman as new targets to catch up to. It was determined to surpass them in the shortest time possible.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

At this moment, a change occurred.

Bai Wushang moved to this sealed space, and two to three minutes passed.

The gray-white ground shook, and a mysterious figure suddenly came through the ground.

To be more precise, it was a strange humanoid creature.

It was less than a meter tall, and it looked like a deformed little old man. It had a hunched back, a big head, and a small body. Its face was full of wrinkles.

It did not wear any clothes, and its skin was grayish-white, like stone. When it stood still, it looked like a finely carved stone statue.

What made Bai Wushang more moved was the ancient aura that was emitted from its small body. It seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of time, and there was an inexplicable power that rose and fell, and a sense of awe was born.

Two lines of small, pale golden words flashed past his eyes.

[ Name ]: Soul of the Mountain Guardian (Realm Spirit)

[ Race ]: Miracle Creature

..

“Miracle Creature?!!”

Bai Wushang’s brain buzzed, and he lost his hearing for a short while.

Countless bits and pieces of knowledge and memories gushed out.

The gray-white elder extended a trembling finger and pointed at the Demon Ape from afar.

“Midarubo! Dalarana!”

A strange voice came out of its mouth. It was a foreign language that Bai Wushang had never learned or heard before.

However, that voice contained a mysterious power that forced him to understand it.

“Those who climb the mountain should be rewarded!”

“I bestow upon you the name of the Fearless One and a Mountain Guardian Divine Stone!”

A crystal fell into the body of the Demon Ape, and its body rose into the air uncontrollably.

Then, the bloody wounds on its black fur healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The mental state of the entire ape changed from being exhausted and weak to being fierce and powerful.

Another fist-sized grayish-white stone hung above its head, and a light sprinkled down and seeped into the Demon Ape’s flesh and blood.

“Roar!”

Ah Zhou was elated from the bottom of its heart.

It imitated human etiquette and bowed its head in respect to the grayish-white elder.

Only then did it close its eyes and relax. It focused all its efforts on refining the mysterious energy.

Bai Wushang looked over. Ah Zhou’s attribute panel also displayed the state of Absorb Gifts.

“So… the so-called ‘Mountain Soul’ of the mystic realm’s Sacred Mountain is actually a Miracle Creature! I’ve seen this legendary creature with my own eyes!”

Bai Wushang was extremely shocked.

He had seen bits and pieces of such a creature in an old and tattered book.

The book introduced that the Transcendent Realm was illusory and had too many mysterious and bizarre things.

For example, the Miracle Creature was fundamentally different from a transcendent creature. It was an even more mysterious life form.

It had many characteristics, such as uniqueness, non-replicability, and non-ability to bond. It was extremely rare.

Many masters might have the chance to meet a king or supreme beast, but the probability of meeting a Miracle Creature was pitifully low.

Bai Wushang really did not expect that the core mystic realm that Mountain and Sea Academy relied on was actually hiding a Miracle Creature!

“No! Maybe it’s not hiding, but it’s too hard for ordinary people to climb to the top, so they can’t see it at all!”

As his thoughts spread to this point, Bai Wushang’s eyes started to burn.

As for the origin of the Miracle Creature, there was no definite conclusion in the book. There was only one conjecture —

It was a natural individual that had evolved over a long period of time under a very special environment. It was favored by the heavens and earth, and it was loved by thousands of people.

It could be said that every Miracle Creature was different from the rest.

They were extraordinary existences. It was impossible to simply define their ability and strength with the attributes of Life Level and Bloodline Quality.

In addition, if any life caused a certain degree of harm to the Miracle Creature, especially when they committed the crime of killing, they would inevitably be punished by the will of heaven and earth, which would lead to Heaven’s punishment and other phenomena.

On the contrary, if he could obtain the approval of the Miracle Creature, he would have a chance to obtain the Miracle Gift and obtain indescribable benefits.

As for the former, Bai Wushang had no way of verifying the authenticity of the information.

But as for the latter, he believed that he would soon be able to confirm it!

“The Mountain Guardian Divine Stone… is this the gift given by the Miracle Creature, the Soul of Mountain Guardian? What kind of changes will happen after the universe absorbs this stone?”

Bai Wushang was extremely expectant.

Inside the sealed cave, the gray-white elder was expressionless.

In other words, one could not see the change in his expression at all.

The wrinkles on his face were so dense that he could not even open his eyes.

If it was not for his special skin and the ancient aura he exuded, he would have been like a frail old man.

In deep silence…

The lower half of the grey-white old man’s body slowly sank into the ground and was about to leave.

This situation immediately made the little rabbit extremely anxious.

Seeing the big ape floating in the air, his injuries were all healed, and he even obtained a precious stone.

The neighbor’s fiery bird auntie also had one.

The little fellow was still happily waiting for the old Grandpa to reward him.

But in the end?!

That grandpa was going to run away!

It had yet to receive its stone!!

The little rabbit was both angry and wronged.

Why was it so? It had also reached the top.

Was it because it was too young, and the grandpa could not see it?

With this thought, Milky Way rushed to the front of the gray-white old man, trying to raise its little head and stand properly.

“Ji, ji, ji!”

The little rabbit cried out joyfully. Its ears perked up, and its little face was filled with anticipation.

The gray-white elder acted as if he did not hear it, and half of his body had already drilled into the ground.

“Ji, ji, ji!”

The little guy tried to reason with the old grandpa and explain its reasoning.

However, the other party did not take it seriously at all, and did not pay any attention to it!

“Ji, ji, ji…”

The little rabbit was a little depressed, and its big silver eyes were no longer shining.

It did not know what it had done wrong.

Then it really got a little angry!

“Milky Way!”

Bai Wushuang was shocked to see the emotional fluctuations in his bond with Milky Way, and his expression changed.

However, he did not have time to do anything. He could only watch the rabbit grinding its teeth and headbutt the old man…
