Tian Zhu had actually planned this from the beginning. If the white lion managed to evolve or break through using the technique he provided, he would take advantage of it and turn it into his contracted spiritual beast.Fortunately, although intelligent, the Moon Lion was quite easy to deceive, so it didn’t take long for Tian Zhu to convince it to become his contracted spiritual beast.If Tian Zhu had explained that becoming a contracted spiritual beast meant becoming his subordinate, the Moon Lion would have refused immediately. However, the young man deliberately left that part out and only explained the benefits, leaving the Moon Lion with no reason to reject the offer.Now, the Moon Lion had completely become Tian Zhu’s contracted spiritual beast. Having a Nascent Soul-level subordinate with unique abilities after evolution—what a tremendous advantage.“Moon Lion, I’ve helped you a lot, haven’t I? So I’d like to ask for some help in return.”“Just say it. There’s no need to hesita

“I finally broke through. It’s a good thing I chose to do it here—if I had done it in the sect during dual cultivation, it might have caused a huge commotion and attracted unnecessary attention.” Tian Zhu felt his newfound power after successfully grasping the Dao.“Human, what was that just now? You broke through to the Sky Spirit Realm, yet it felt like you could destroy this world.” The Moon Lion couldn’t hold back its curiosity.“That’s something that can happen among humans.” Tian Zhu didn’t feel like explaining, so he gave a vague answer.“Are humans really that terrifying…?” the Moon Lion muttered.“Alright, we’re done here. It’s time to leave the Guxu Mountains. Do you want to come with me, or have you changed your mind and decided to stay in this place you call home?” Tian Zhu stood up.“Of course I’m coming with you. I’m already bored of seeing these meaningless mountains,” the Moon Lion replied quickly.“Then I’ll store you inside the contract seal.” Tian Zhu waved his hand

Ong Bun’s reflexes were sharp enough that he managed to leap backward and avoid the attack. His companions, unaware of why he suddenly retreated, assumed it was part of a battle strategy to distract Tian Zhu. Without slowing down in the slightest, they continued charging forward.In an instant, they surrounded Tian Zhu—from the front, sides, above, and behind—swinging their weapons, each engulfed in blazing flames.“Take this!”They attacked simultaneously. But suddenly, Tian Zhu’s figure vanished from where he stood. Their attacks, already in motion, could not be stopped, causing their weapons to collide with one another.“What? Where did he go?”“He just disappeared… was that an illusion?”The four companions were bewildered as Tian Zhu vanished as if he had never been there.“Are you really a cultivator who specializes in speed? I think you’re still far too slow.”Ong Bun, who had remained where he was after retreating, was startled by a voice that suddenly sounded right beside him

After returning to the sect, Tian Zhu had no other activities besides training with Elder Zhi. Every time they sparred, although he could display flawless swordsmanship, he would always leave openings so that Elder Zhi could give guidance and feel a sense of purpose as a teacher.If Tian Zhu were serious, there would be nothing Elder Zhi could teach him. So, in order to preserve the elder’s dignity, he deliberately made a few mistakes.After training with Elder Zhi, Tian Zhu would always practice with Yun Zhi. The girl knew how capable Tian Zhu truly was—she realized that he was intentionally making mistakes so her father could offer guidance as a mentor.Yun Zhi had to admit that her father was not worthy of being Tian Zhu’s teacher, but she was grateful to the young man for still preserving her father’s pride.One month after Tian Zhu’s breakthrough, Luo Ying returned along with Ling Yin and Xie Dao Yun. Naturally, they engaged in dual cultivation, and in the end, Ling Yin, Xie Dao

Tian Zhu did not expect to see Yan-Yan bathing. If it weren’t for the curse within his body, he would have been able to remain calm, but not in his current condition. Even though Yan-Yan only had the appearance of a young girl who had yet to fully mature, why was he still affected by this curse? ‘This makes no sense… I’m a lover of fully grown and mature women. Does Father think that if the curse doesn’t activate toward young girls, then I, who haven’t felt the warmth of a woman in so long, would turn to prey on them?! Even jokes have their limits, Father!’ Tian Zhu shouted inwardly, convinced that his father would hear him no matter where he was. ‘Enough, I need to calm down. I should focus.’ Tian Zhu continued. He preferred to call this gathering information rather than peeping on a young girl while she bathed. That’s right, he was collecting information for the sake of the Earth God Sect, not indulging his desires by spying on a young girl who had yet to mature. However, Tian
