Chapter 4280
The Little Fire Qilin stared at Kai in disbelief. Despite the disdain evident in its eyes, it had no choice but to approach him and nuzzle against him gently!
Having to accept a small cultivator from the Ferrying Realm as its master was far from pleasing for the Little Fire Qilin. However, with the imposing presence of the Heaven Swallowing Beast watching closely, it had no option but to comply!
Kai felt a surge of joy as he stroked the Little Fire Qilin. With this new mount, he envisioned having an extra set of hands to assist him in the future!
Even without an airship, he could ride the Fire Qilin freely, conserving his spiritual energy!
Nonetheless, the Little Fire Qilin was still quite small, and Kai pondered the amount of resources he would need to nurture it!
After all, a Heaven Swallowing Beast had already caused Kai enough trouble, consuming countless items, and now he had to contend with a little Fire Qilin!
Kai’s own cultivation was resource-intensive, requiring far more than what other Transition Realm cultivators needed!
With three significant consumers in play, where would the vast resources come from?
At this point, Kai realized he could only take one step at a time, and if necessary, he might have to resort to seizing resources!
In the Celestial Realm, there were no clear rules; it was purely a matter of strength versus weakness. Therefore, finding clans and families to pilfer resources from was still a possibility!
However, Kai currently struggled with an internal barrier that he couldn’t seem to overcome!
Once he stored both the Little Fire Qilin and the Little Heaven Swallowing Beast in his storage ring, Kai exited the space!
As he left, the space collapsed and vanished instantly, taking the formation patterns on the ground with it!
The spirit beasts in the courtyard appeared much calmer after the Little Fire Qilin was put away by Kai. They no longer seemed fearful or agitated!
It became evident that the little Fire Qilin had been the source of their fright and subsequent ailments!
With a few days of rest, these spirit beasts would surely recover!
Kai returned to his room and surveyed the piles of resources, finally finding the motivation to cultivate!
Closing his eyes slightly, he activated the Concentration Technique, drawing in a significant amount of spiritual qi!
Time seemed to slip away; he lost track of both day and night!
Kai felt a slight tremor in his body as a golden light erupted from his room, dark clouds gathering overhead as if heralding an apocalyptic event!
“This must be Fellow Daoist Chen’s breakthrough…”
Zhen Yuandao exclaimed, gazing at the dense thunderclouds!
“A breakthrough in the Transition Realm triggering such a thunder tribulation? No wonder this Kai, at merely the sixth rank of the Transition Realm, can hold his own against a Mahayana realm expert.”
Zhong Qi remarked, equally astonished as she observed the turbulent clouds above!
“How many days has it been?”
Xiao Yuanshan inquired!
“Emperor Xiao, it’s been five days…”
Yu Wenqiang answered from the side.
“Five days, and he’s managed to break through! Even if it’s just a minor level, the magnitude of this event rivals that of a peak breakthrough in the Ferrying Realm.”
Xiao Yuanshan noted with a hint of admiration!
“Emperor Xiao, General Qian has reported that Fox Emperor City has been recaptured, and the Feng Family has been eradicated. However, this has caught the attention of the Demon Sealing Alliance, and they may retaliate against us.”
“General Qian has taken precautions, bringing people to guard the area, awaiting Mr. Chen’s return after his travels.”
Yu Wenqiang understood that Xiao Yuanshan’s inquiry about the time wasn’t merely for discussing Kai’s cultivation speed!
Since the directive had been given to eliminate the Feng Family within five days, it was imperative that it be carried out!
Failure to do so would lead to dire consequences!
Although Xiao Yuanshan appeared benign and amiable, his politeness was matched by a strict sense of reward and punishment among his subordinates. This was crucial for maintaining control over the vast Xiao Dynasty!
