The Qilin seemed to be observing me, but when I turned to look at it, it turned its head around and looked up. It snorted and stomped its front paws on the ground, looking disdainful.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh. After I calmed down from the shock, I started to ponder.
The old witch had called the snake spirit Dragon Gu. At first, it had been fed with a lot of Gu. Then, it had absorbed a lot of True Dragon Saliva. After crossing the Dragon's Gate, it had turned into a Jiao and had its own body.
Now, the Qilin Gu had attached itself to this doll and turned into a Qilin. From this, I could see that this doll could replace the Gu worm and the power of the True Dragon Saliva. It must be some kind of treasure. I just couldn't recognize it before.
My luck wasn't bad. After entering the blood door, I got rid of the Qilin Gu and obtained this doll, which helped the Qilin Gu transform.
However, the items that the others had obtained before were either Chiyou's magic tools, inheritance, or divine power. I didn't know the origin of this doll.
However, in the legends, the Three Miao people were the descendants of Jiu Li, and they respected the Chi as their ancestor. Perhaps the Miao People's Gu technique came from Chiyou, so it wasn't strange that his tomb had something related to it.
At this moment, I needed to figure out what kind of existence this Qilin in front of me was.
Although it looked like a living Qilin, in the legends, Qilin wasn't inferior to Dragons or Phoenixes. Its status was even higher than them.
If it was a living Qilin, it would be an existence even more terrifying than a True Dragon. In terms of cultivation base, not to mention the Heavenly Masters, even the Immortals who had ascended to the heavens weren't necessarily its opponent.
Although this doll was magical, I didn't believe that it could turn the Qilin Gu into a living Qilin.
I thought that the Qilin in front of me only had the appearance of a Qilin. In the end, it was just a wisp of the Qilin Gu's soul that had borrowed the doll to transform. It couldn't be considered a real Qilin.
However, no one had ever seen a Qilin before, so I could only guess. I couldn't be sure.
However, after thinking for a while, I thought of a way to test it.
The Qilin Sacred Beast had extraordinary power. I just needed to test this fellow's cultivation base to know its background.
Coincidentally, looking at his arrogant expression, he most likely didn't want to go with me. After I beat him up a little, I could also dampen his spirit a little.
With this thought in mind, I stepped forward and extended my hand to stroke the fur on its neck.
The Qilin was a living creature. After I touched it, it leaned to the side and turned to look at me with disgust. It seemed it didn't like me at all.
If it wasn't a living being, it would be impossible for it to have such an expression.
However, after expressing its disgust, it didn't do anything else. It turned around and looked at the sky, as though it didn't want to look at me anymore.
I smiled. Those who were extremely powerful wouldn't have such a gentle temper. The way they expressed their disgust wouldn't be by rolling their eyes. The chances of them slapping me were much higher.
I had a better idea of what was going on. I wrapped my arm around his neck and beckoned, "Follow me. Let's leave this place."
He was originally facing the opposite direction from me. After I said that, I exerted force and pulled his head toward me.
It was obvious that he was resisting. He exerted force to resist my hand. However, the resistance was very small and couldn't stop my actions at all.
This made my heart sink. The shaman energy that I had mobilized to prevent him from suddenly attacking me dispersed.
Not only did this fellow not have the terrifying power that I had imagined, but it also didn't have any magic power. The strength that it had used to resist was similar to that of a dog with a similar body size.
At this moment, I didn't doubt that it was a real Qilin anymore. On the contrary, I suspected that it was a strange dog that didn't have any cultivation base. It was just for show.
Then, I carefully sensed for half a day. I even used the power of the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper. However, I couldn't see any trace of power from it.
Even the old witch that had used the Qilin Gu had at least the cultivation base of Shi Yao. The Qilin Gu was said to be able to swallow Heavenly Masters. The Qilin Gu that was created from the combination of the Qilin Gu and the doll was a little too weak.
I sighed. It didn't have any cultivation base. At least, it didn't look bad. It had a black body and silver fur. It was so handsome that it made people's hair stand on end. If I kept it by my side, it would be a good pet to scare people.
I patted its head and pointed at the blood door not far from us, asking it to leave with me.
This fellow could understand me, but he didn't want to. He stood there and lifted his head. He didn't seem to want to go with me.
I didn't try to be polite with him. I grabbed the fur on his neck and dragged him forward like I was dragging a pet dog.
After a few steps, he seemed to know that he couldn't resist anymore. He whimpered and struggled to get out of my hand.
I let go of him and pointed at the blood door in front of us. This time, the Qilin didn't resist. He lifted his feet and walked forward. However, he still lifted his head and wore a disdainful face. It seemed that I wasn't forcing him. He just didn't want to bother with me and was reluctantly listening to me.
This rascal reminded me of the Spirit Snake. I shook my head and smiled. I didn't want to argue with him and followed him out of the blood door.
As soon as we stepped out of the door, Officer Wang, the fatty, and Lu Zhenyang appeared in my sight.
It was just as I had guessed. This blood door was the way out. I stood on the high platform with the Qilin. The blood door behind us turned into a blood mist and dispersed.
Everyone gazed at us. However, they didn't look at me but at the Qilin.
Both Officer Wang and Lu Zhenyang looked as if they had seen a ghost. They didn't look any better than me.
Although it was a good-for-nothing product, its appearance was really good.
I smiled and didn't want to explain to them. I took the Qilin with me and prepared to return to Officer Wang.
However, before I could move, the shaman energy in my body seemed to boil. It shot up from the bottom of the Vein of the Heavens and out of the top of my head, reaching the sky.
I was bewildered at first, but I immediately reacted.
I had been suppressing my realm for a long time. Now that I had gotten rid of the Qilin insect, I couldn't control the power in my body, which was beyond the consummation of the Glory of Knowledge realm. It was proactively trying to break through to the Heavenly Master realm!
At this moment, it was impossible to suppress it. I had to break through to the Heavenly Master realm.
I was speechless. I could only give Officer Wang a look from a distance. Then, I sat down cross-legged and closed my eyes.
At the last moment before I closed my eyes, I saw Officer Wang holding the Qingxu Sword and heading toward me with Fu and the others. Kirin, who was next to me, didn't leave. He stood there majestically as if he was protecting me.
At this critical moment, I couldn't help but laugh.
Although Lu Zhenyang was strong, Officer Wang's Clear Void Sword could resist him for a while. Even the Qilin, who had appeared out of nowhere, could subdue Lu Zhenyang. He wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Although this fellow was useless, whether it was his appearance or demeanor, he was perfect for scaring people.
Moreover, I had just come out of the blood door. Lu Zhenyang didn't know the situation, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
With that in mind, I relaxed a lot. After closing my eyes, I entered the state of forgetting myself and the surroundings.
It was almost the same as when Officer Wang had broken through. After I closed my eyes, the shaman energy in my body surged out of the top of my head and shot up to the sky. Shortly after, three thunderclaps came from the sky.
When Officer Wang broke through, I only felt that the thunderclap was very loud, but I didn't feel anything else. But when it came to me, the thunderclap seemed to explode in my head. I almost lost my consciousness, and I felt as if my soul had been shattered by the formation.
After the thunderclaps, a pure wind blew.
Although I knew it was the wind, the strong wind that was blowing at me felt like it was carrying countless steel needles. They entered my body through my pores and went out through the other end of my pores. The pain was excruciating.
However, in the midst of this extreme pain, my soul, which had been scattered by the thunderclaps, seemed to gather again. Moreover, it surged up as if it wanted to jump out of my body.
Soon, the pain in my body became numb, and I felt a little light. My soul seemed to have flown up and was floating in the air.
If I opened my eyes, I would see that it wasn't my soul that was floating in the air, but my whole body.
He did not know how long he had been in this state. Slowly, the numbing pain became weaker and weaker. What replaced it was a warm and comfortable feeling. The Qi of Dao and Witchcraft that had left his body earlier seemed to have returned. They surged into his body and turned into streams of warm currents that passed through his limbs and bones. They flowed into the Meridian of Heaven again and gathered at the bottom of the Meridian of Heaven, forming a ball of air that kept spinning.
That mass of air was the Celestial Master's True Essence. The True Essence in the Heavenly Veins meant that I had successfully become a Celestial Master!
At this time, my mind was clear. Successfully becoming a Celestial Master was within my expectations, so I wasn't too surprised. What I was really looking forward to was condensing the Celestial Master Seal.
Not long after, all the shaman energy that had left my body returned. After circling around my body, they scattered again and gathered at the top of my head.
As the True Essence gathered, the seal was formed!
After all the True Essence left my body, I instantly opened my eyes, as if I had been blessed.
There wasn't a trace of blood mist around me. All the light seemed to have been absorbed by the light in front of me.
The light was dazzling and there were ten colors in total. At this moment, they were intertwining and gathering in the air in front of me.
Not long after, huge words formed by the intertwining light filled the sky.
I looked over and saw that the first word formed by the ten-colored light had already formed. There were four strokes. First, there were two horizontal strokes, followed by a stroke. It was the word 'Heaven'!
Chang Yan: Heaven, what is Qi Jiu?
Hao Yue: Untitled, the sky is unknown, the highest is the sky!
