Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Beginning the Breakthrough (Add 2400 Monthly Tickets)

In the sky, a streak of golden light flashed by.

A golden wind howled, within which a golden-maned howl could be heard.

Zhong Shenxiu lay on its back, holding onto a thick ring of golden fur around the beast’s neck, finding the touch incredibly smooth, prompting him to praise it.

In his previous life, he was quite fond of little cats and dogs, and now this golden-maned howl, resembling an enlarged golden Tibetan mastiff, made him feel a strong sense of affection.

Moreover, it was a Divine Power Realm demon beast, capable of riding light directly into the high skies, far superior to Gang Sha Realm cultivators who could only flutter a few hundred meters above the ground.

"Good doggy, keep running, I’ll buy you a bone to chew on once we rest..."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, suddenly recalling Huang Xie and Er Ha, wondering how those two "doggy" companions were doing since they returned to their clan.

"Young Master, I am a golden-maned howl, not a dog."

At this moment, the golden-maned howl below spoke in human tongue, "If the Young Master truly wishes to reward me with some food, why not capture a few humans for me to eat... I heard from the mount seniors that humans are especially delicious, particularly young girls; their taste is indescribably wonderful..."

"You abominable creature, how dare you eat humans?" Zhong Shenxiu smacked the golden-maned howl on its head.

But since he didn’t use much force and the golden-maned howl had thick skin and tough flesh, it didn’t take it seriously. In fact, it mistook the Young Master’s act as a light touch of encouragement and became even more enthusiastic, "If the Young Master is reluctant to bear a bad reputation, just pretend to be careless and let me go. After I have had my fill in the human world, the Young Master can come to subdue the demon and rid the evil, simultaneously earning a good name; wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?"

"Goodness... why does this scheme sound so familiar?"

Zhong Shenxiu widened his eyes.

"Naturally, we are a tribe with traditions, and just as our ancestors did... " the golden-maned howl was quick to learn and sell its idea, "I am considered honest, within the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, there’s an entity who has cultivated a Dharma Body, and he keeps a Nine Infant, that one is truly fierce beyond compare..."

Zhong Shenxiu was momentarily speechless, immediately following up with, "Humans... I can’t let you eat them, let’s find you something else, or else don’t blame me for being heartless."

Although the golden-maned howl was a Divine Power Level magical beast, wielding the Beast Taming Ring allowed for easy subjugation.

After all, those great masters who created the Beast Taming Ring intended for it to be used on magical beasts as laborers and transport, not as lords.

When the golden-maned howl was within the Beast Taming Ring, it couldn’t sense the outside world, akin to being in prison, hence its restlessness upon being released.

"Master truly understands... isn’t it normal for beings in the world to eat or be eaten?" the golden-maned howl snorted, "It’s like that Nine Infant I mentioned before, it always loves to stealthily devour other mounts, causing a scare among the mounts in the sect..."

’It seems this golden-maned howl among the mounts of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect is also one to keep a low profile, it must have been so repressed that the moment it got out, it thought of venting...’

Zhong Shenxiu had an idea in mind but purposely made conversation, extracting lots of the latest news about the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect from the golden-maned howl.

’No wonder they say drivers and secretaries are most likely to leak secrets... it’s these kinds of mounts that are even harder to guard against...’

After the conversation, Zhong Shenxiu felt greatly enlightened, and seeing a city below, he patted the golden-maned howl on its head, signaling it to land.

"Eh? We’ve actually arrived here, isn’t this Xuanyu City?"

Seeing a place he had visited before, Zhong Shenxiu nodded silently in acknowledgment, as some memories began surfacing.

Water Smoke Guest, Xu Shaoling, and Xuanyu City’s Law Enforcement Envoy Lin Xunyi...

"Revisiting old places isn’t too bad..."

Zhong Shenxiu set out this time to resolve some troubles.

"If I can’t resolve this, I’ll have to make a clean break and leave."

At this moment, looking at the terrifyingly imposing Golden Furred Howler beside him, his brows knitted together, "You’re too conspicuous, get back into the Beast Taming Ring..."

"Little master, I can do a few tricks to conceal my presence, my aura can be restrained, it won’t be a problem."

The Golden Furred Howler quickly called out, rolled on the ground, and transformed into a dun-colored horse that, however, had too large a head and hooves that were a bit too thick. The proportions were extremely uncoordinated, like some kind of monster.

"You look even more frightening this way. Listen to me... Whatever I tell you to transform into, you transform into..."

After a few pointers from Zhong Shenxiu, the Golden Furred Howler turned into a large yellow dog. After inspecting it a few more times, he couldn’t help but nod, patting the head of the Golden Furred Howler now masquerading as a dog, "Indeed, it is easiest for you to transform into your kind. Come with me."

Thus, a man and a dog entered Xuanyu City.

This city, compared to the last time Shenxiu had visited, had not changed much.

At this time, Shenxiu had taken on the guise of Su Daoshi when entering the city, and he did recognize a few people there.

But at this moment, he had no intention of greeting anyone and directly found an inn, booking a quiet courtyard.

After letting the transformed big yellow dog, the Golden Furred Howler, gnaw on a pile of bones, he then, under its reproachful gaze, took it back into the Beast Taming Ring.

After all, the tasks ahead were not suitable for outsiders to see.

’Zhang Taiyi’s Divine Soul is a hidden danger. It might erupt at any day, I must get rid of it as soon as possible...’

’Beyond that, there’s the matter of concealing my identity in front of Primordial Pill Cultivators... The Headless Earl’s Void Divine Power may not be able to conceal it, but I must get past this hurdle if I’m to infiltrate the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.’

’When it comes to hiding an identity, the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations Great Divine Power is, of course, the way to go... This Divine Power can simulate a great number of other Divine Powers of lower status, and after my enhancement, it can probably reach Tier One... Among the Divine Powers recorded in the Ten Thousand Techniques Sect, there seems to be one that can conceal the aura of one’s cultivation level, named the ’Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability’... By then, with my transformation through the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Power to simulate this ability, it could probably be equivalent to a Divine Power at Tier One or Two...’

’This is already a pretty clever concealment Divine Power. As long as the Primordial Pill Old Monster hasn’t cultivated any spiritual vision-type Divine Skills, or even if he did but he doesn’t bolster it with his own status, he should not be able to see through my disguise...’

Of course, if the Primordial Pill Old Monster grows suspicious and uses his status to suppress, then Shenxiu wouldn’t be able to stay hidden.

Fortunately, he has already made acquaintances with several disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect; their verification should greatly reduce the Primordial Pill’s suspicions.

’But if my disguise is penetrated, I’m as good as dead...’

’Before that, there’s another thing I must do, to prepare an escape route... to modify the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power so that it can regenerate in a different location...’

In this regard, Shenxiu already had an idea, which was Wang Qiao Ren’s Substitute Divine Ability!

If he combined and contemplated these two Divine Powers, he might obtain unexpected results.

Of course, forcibly merging two Divine Powers is a joke, and even slight modifications were not something Shenxiu could achieve at the moment.

But the Heavenly Show System could merge martial arts and should somewhat allow for modification of a Divine Power.

’Regrettably, Wang Qiao Ren doesn’t have any manuals or secret texts on him, but it doesn’t matter much, that man is from the Black Lotus Sect, and what he cultivates is probably the Black Lotus Sect’s passed down cultivation techniques... Within the Black Lotus Sect, there should be a lineage of the Death Replacement Divine Ability...’

’Whether it’s using the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Power or using the Death Replacement Divine Ability to modify the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power, I’m still lacking something... Moreover, the Death Replacement Divine Ability’s range is too short, I might need to incorporate the Headless Earl’s Void Divine Power...’

’There was a mishap before, and my plan to advance in Divine Power was disrupted; now is the perfect time to take advantage of the cover provided by the people’s energy in this city and break through to the Divine Power Realm...’
