Chapter 554: Forging a Bond with Bi Ji, Da Ming and Er Ming Are Merely Gatekeepers

"I have seen countless human Spirit Masters."

Bi Ji spoke slowly.

"There are the greedy, and there are the cowardly."

"Those who kill on a whim for spirit rings and Spirit Bones are even more ubiquitous."

"Even those self-righteous divine soulLegacy inheritors talk endlessly of benevolence and righteousness, yet what they do behind the scenes is appalling."

"Yet there is not a single human whom a 100,000-Year Soul Beast would risk its life to protect."

Lin Qingmo did not show false modesty.

He did not put on a submissive and coward-like appearance, nor did he deliberately try to ingratiate himself with the terrifying Vicious Beast before him.

He simply stood there calmly.

The phantom of an ancient tree floated quietly behind him, like an unshakable backing.

The emerald light of life and the profound dark gleam of destruction intertwined among the treetops, exuding an overbearing coercion that surpassed the mortal World.

"Senior overpraises me."

Lin Qingmo’s voice was calm: "It’s merely exchanging sincerity for sincerity."

"They treat me with sincerity, so naturally I protect them thoroughly."

"In my eyes, there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority between Spirit Beasts and humans."

"As long as they don’t come to provoke me, I will never launch indiscriminate killings."

"But if anyone wants to use me as a stepping stone, whether it is Spirit Hall or Sea God Mountain, I will ensure they never return."

These words rang out with force.

A flash of brilliance crossed Bi Ji’s eyes.

She continued: "I was originally in closed-door cultivation at the bottom of the lake."

"I was awakened by the pure breath of life you emitted, which is why I came out to take a look."

"From beginning to end, I had no intention of harming anyone, nor do I casually kill or injure ordinary human Spirit Beasts."

She spoke with utter openness.

Her clear tone carried the power to cleanse the soul.

Er Ming finally couldn’t hold it in any longer, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"My brother-in-Law is no ordinary human!"

"To be able to make Sister Xiao Wu so devoted, and to beat that hypocritical Tang San until his teeth are scattered all over the floor, my brother-in-Law is a True Immortal descended from the heavens!"

"Ordinary Spirit Masters aren’t even fit to carry my brother-in-Law’s shoes!"

Da Ming swung its tail, directly shutting Er Ming’s big mouth.

That thick cyan snake tail, sturdy as a wall of bronze and iron, muffled all of Er Ming’s subsequent words back into his stomach.

It practically wanted to carve the two words "shut up" onto him.

This idiot really knows how to bring up whatever hurts most.

Yelling and shouting in front of a top Vicious Beast of several hundred thousand years was practically practicing horse stances on the edge of a cliff.

Er Ming was whipped until he whimpered, scratching his forehead with his big paws, feeling immensely aggrieved.

Bi Ji chuckled softly.

That laughter was as clear and melodious as jade stones striking each other, gently rippling across the surface of the lake.

The oppressive and murderous atmosphere across the sky dissipated by more than half amidst this soft laughter.

"To be able to allow the Blue Silver Emperor after her Sacrifice to retain complete spiritual intelligence, and to make the two forest overlords convinced from the heart."

She looked at Lin Qingmo.

"I believe you naturally have your extraordinary aspects."

These words, coming from Bi Ji’s mouth, carried an extremely heavy weight.

Ah Yin’s expression finally relaxed completely.

The blue-gold light around her slightly converged.

She slightly nodded toward Bi Ji, considering it a thank you for this recognition.

Being able to gain the goodwill of the Emerald Swan meant Lin Qingmo would have no further worries in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bi Ji raised her right hand, her slender fingertips gently touching her left shoulder.

An emerald feather emitting a soft glow slowly detached from her body, drifting down before Lin Qingmo.

The feather was only the size of a palm, crystal-clear throughout, resembling the most perfect emerald carved in the World.

"Earlier, you unintentionally helped me stabilize my cultivation and eliminated the stubborn internal injuries within my body."

"Let this be my token of gratitude."

The feather hovered mid-air, entirely emerald green, with dense Law patterns floating on its surface.

The Origin of life, pure to the extreme, lingered around the feather.

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can rely on it to find me."

"Those who hold this feather can make all beasts give way within the Star Dou Great Forest."

Lin Qingmo reached out and caught it.

The feather felt warm and smooth upon contact, carrying a serene breath of life. Fitting snugly against his palm, it didn’t weigh an ounce.

A wisp of ultra-pure healing energy seeped through his palm into his Meridians, instantly refreshing his entire being.

"Many thanks, Senior."

He did not decline.

Acting overly polite with a 500,000-year Vicious Beast was purely wasting an Opportunity.

In this World, not taking advantage when you can is having a hole in your brain.

Accepting this heavy gift was the wisest choice.

Bi Ji recalled another matter, her expression turning serious.

"Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, several of my companions are still sleeping."

"Some of them do not have good tempers."

"Especially a few warlike individuals who harbor extremely deep hatred towards humans."

"If you enter the core of the forest again in the future, try not to use the power of destruction within your body."

"Otherwise, once they are disturbed, unnecessary misunderstandings will occur."

Lin Qingmo put the feather away properly: "This Junior remembers."

In his heart, he naturally understood who Bi Ji was referring to.

Beast God Di Tian, Lord Bear, Ten-Thousand Demon King.

Those were all killing gods with cultivations reaching hundreds of thousands of years.

Although he currently possessed the Origin of creation and destruction, he had not yet reached the point where he could sweep across the Vicious Beast team.

Once his strength improved by a few more tiers, those tough characters would no longer pose a threat to him.

Bi Ji’s gaze turned to Da Ming and Er Ming.

"The two of you can continue to stay at the Lake of Life."

Da Ming’s snake body moved slightly, respectfully lowering its head.

Its huge bull head drooped completely, expressing submission to this ancient existence.

Er Ming also hurriedly nodded, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Thank you, My Lord, for your grace! We will surely guard our home well!"

"However..."

Bi Ji’s words paused.

Her originally gentle tone suddenly carried an unchallengeable admonition.

"The secrets beneath the lake do not need to be probed, nor can they be probed."

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance.

Combining Bi Ji’s previous words, they immediately figured it out.

Several companions of Bi Ji were still sleeping beneath the lake.

Each and every one of them was likely a terrifying existence far surpassing 100,000 years.

Yet the two of them had guarded the surface of the lake for so many years, considering themselves the invincible overlords of this great forest.

And yet they hadn’t noticed at all that they were stepping on a group of fierce gods right under their feet.

A heaven-shaking secret was hidden beneath this!

And the two of them... were mostly just gatekeepers.

Er Ming’s originally dark and gloomy face looked somewhat comical at this moment.

Scratching his head, he felt that his cognition had suffered a devastating blow.

Could it be that old Er fought battles for half his life, only to turn out to be a mere gatekeeper in the end?

Da Ming remained relatively steady, only twitching its snake tail unconsciously.

It let out a long sigh in its heart.

Frogs at the bottom of a well—that described precisely the two brothers.

If Lin Qingmo hadn’t drawn Bi Ji out, the two of them probably wouldn’t have known the terrifying truth at the bottom of this Lake of Life until they died.

"As for today’s matter..."

Bi Ji’s gaze swept over the relieved Da Ming and Er Ming, the corners of her mouth curving up.

Her elegant skirt hem rippled slightly in the wind.

"Consider it a good bond formed between you and me."

Lin Qingmo cupped his fists: "It is this Junior’s blessing."

Bi Ji said no more.

Her toes lightly tapped the lake surface.

Her entire body turned into a clear emerald pillar of light, submerging into the center of the lake.

The emerald light filling the sky receded like a tide, and the lake water returned to peace once more. That mountain-like coercion completely dissipated.
