Chapter 221: Chapter 216: What Heavenly Dao? Just Call Me Little Orange Cat!
A half incense stick of time had passed.
The pure energy within the eggshell had completely transformed into a golden, tiny orange kitten, approximately six months old. However, the little orange kitten now seemed to be in a perpetual sleep, its eyes closed for some unknown reason.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits showed an obviously exhausted expression on its large feline face, lying spent on the rocky bed, without even the energy to play with his valerian ball. His gaze was fixed only on the descendant floating in mid-air.
Essence is the most precious thing for any race, residing within their bodies. His one-time excessive output had caused the glimpse of the Eighth Realm he had just seen to recede, necessitating another period of secluded cultivation and nurturing before he could attempt the breakthrough anew.
But he had no regrets!
The Golden Silk Tiger Clan, which had only him as its sole member, finally welcomed a second member – the number had doubled! This was even more important to him than advancing to the Eighth Realm. For the Demon Clan, the essence of life lies in reproduction.
"Elder Primordial Saint, isn’t there something quite wrong with this little orange kitten?" Liang Yi frowned. Although he was far inferior to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits in terms of cultivation Realm, his experience told him that there was indeed something wrong with the kitten.
"Hmm?" Although he wasn’t clear on what the young man meant by "orange kitten", he had also come to realize that there did indeed seem to be something off with his offspring.
Concentrating his Divine Sense on one point, the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits inspected it inside and out, then with a puzzled expression, remarked:
"There’s nothing wrong with the body..."
"Wait, it’s missing the Innate Spiritual Light."
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits’ expression changed drastically as he finally understood where the problem lay.
Whether it’s humans or members of the Demon Clan, as long as they belong to a living race, at the time of birth, they are comprised of two things:
Innate Qi and Innate Spiritual Light.
The Qi gives rise to the body, with Innate Qi forming the newborn life’s physical vessel to carry the Innate Spiritual Light.
The Spirit Light forms the soul – Innate Spiritual Light constitutes the brand-new life’s blank slate of a soul!
And his offspring, it lacked that Innate Spiritual Light, which meant that the kindred before his eyes were nothing but a soulless shell!
"Meow!"
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits burst into a furious rage!
The sky darkened, the sun and the moon lost their brilliance, and countless bolts of lightning flickered.
The roar emanated from the palace on Zhaoqing Mountain, instantly spreading across Ten Thousand Miles Mountain. Numerous members of the Demon Clan were shocked and looked up towards Zhaoqing Mountain, failing to understand why the Demon Emperor was so enraged.
Numerous other old ancestors of the Demon Clan appeared one after another, worried gazes crossing the Void, arriving instantly at the Demon Emperor’s palace but were barred from entering the great hall.
Being the upper echelons of the Demon Clan, they naturally understood the Demon Emperor’s situation of birthing progeny, but hearing such enraged roar from their leader, could it be that it had failed?
The various Great Demons had different thoughts.
Liang Yi, who was closest to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, was directly blown away by the formless sound waves, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he painfully clutched his ears.
Had the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits not retained a shred of rationality in his anger, Liang Yi might have died from that very sound.
"Why! Why!"
The abyssal and oceanic pressure, like boundless waves, spread ceaselessly; the fuming Grand Saint of Nine Spirits’ fur bristled, its pupils turned blood-red, it paced back and forth restlessly, looking as if it wanted to devour someone.
The only hope for his race had shattered just like that!
Who would know the loneliness of his solitary years, who would understand the sorrow of being without father, mother, siblings!
Was it his choice to hide at the end of the Demon Clan, atop this barren mountain, not wishing to see his own descendants fill the hall?
When he discovered half a year ago that there could be another of his kind in the world, he was so excited that he even went to vent by fighting with Chen Hua.
Because that would lead him to calm down quickly.
But now his half-year hopes had been utterly dashed. He wanted to vent, but he couldn’t even find a target for his rage.
Liang Yi leaned against the wall and struggled to stand up, inwardly sighing that they were indeed from different worlds; this big orange was simply more ferocious than an essence-devouring beast!
Watching the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits transition from furious to despondent, although Liang Yi knew he had no right to sympathize with him, he still felt an impulse to help.
"But speaking of Spirit Light... do I have something similar?"
Liang Yi looked towards his backpack, and right in the first compartment sat a [Heavenly Path’s Spiritual Light] that he had studied over and over again without deciphering anything.
Although it was also a Spirit Light, he was unclear whether taking this object out would be of any use, and what other changes it might instigate; however, there seemed to be no other options at this point.
After much hesitation, Liang Yi still took out that bundle of light from his backpack.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, feeling extremely despondent and aggrieved inside, suddenly looked up at Liang Yi, sensing the aura of Heavenly Dao!
And this time, the reaction of the Heavenly Path’s Spiritual Light was completely different from before.
A drop of blood inadvertently absorbed by it from the corner of Liang Yi’s mouth caused the sphere of light to tremble in his hand for a moment, before turning into a stream of light and entering the body of the orange cat hovering before the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits. The speed was so swift that even the Grand Saint failed to react in time.
A burst of gold light erupted from the little orange body in an instant!
The light illuminated the grand hall, then scattered outwards from the hall to cover the entire Zhaoqing Mountain, transforming into a beam of light piercing straight into the sky, instantly breaking through the dark clouds formed from the Grand Saint of Nine Spirit’s earlier rage.
Ultimately, the entire Demon Clan could clearly see the golden pillar of light rising skyward from the location of the Demon Emperor.
"What a rich Heavenly Dao aura, has the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits made a breakthrough?"
"Is that... the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits from Ten Thousand Miles Mountain?"
"Could it be the Demon Emperor is the first to take that step?"
...
The Sect Leader of Blood Control Sect Xu Yi, Wan Wan of Senluo Sect, Zhou Zhukong of the Immortal Dynasty, and the abbot of Zen Bodhi, those Great Cultivators only a step away from the Eighth Realm, all sensed this aura, and the rich Heavenly Dao aura led everyone to mistakenly believe the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits had taken that pivotal step first.
But before the abbot of Zen Bodhi could further ponder, his face suddenly changed; the Abyss was stirring again—and more violently than ever before.
In the Desert North Zen, led by the abbot Bodhi, tens of millions of monks sat down together to chant sutras in low voices.
The Buddha’s light was vast, with the initial manifestation of the Buddha realm, the image of the Buddha and the Buddhas within realm all sharing a smile with a lifted flower, countless flowers drifting into the unfathomable realm to suppress the restless Abyss.
Atop Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, Zhaoqing Mountain.
The column of light as thick as a mountain body began to slowly condense, and when it finally focused onto a point on the little orange’s forehead, this second cat of this world opened its eyes, glinting sharply!
Despite being a newborn kitten, it was capable of traversing the Void.
Liang Yi and the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits looked at this newborn creature and felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from it, as if it were the Heavenly Dao.
Yet the kitten’s immature face was full of solemnity, its body stood upright, and it took seven steps in each of the directions: east, south, west, and north. Its two little paws pointed towards the sky and earth as it declared:
"Above the heavens and below the skies, I alone am the honored one!"
The grand and solemn milky voice resonated throughout the entire palace, emerging from the bottom of Liang Yi and the other’s hearts, and this proclamation was set to continue spreading throughout the entire Mystical Mechanism world, announcing the name of this future supreme being when it unexpectedly got stuck.
"I am... "
The little orange had been repeating this sentence with furrowed brows three times, but it still couldn’t recall the name that was on the tip of its tongue.
Just by uttering it, it would regain control of that authority, but perhaps due to memory loss, the name just couldn’t be spoken out loud.
In the heavens above, in an invisible land, the Heavenly Dao Laws circulated and quivered, causing the entire Mystical Mechanism world to begin undergoing bizarre changes.
It felt it—the spiritual being that it had given birth to tens of millions of years ago had completed its karmic transmigration successfully, and as long as its reincarnated self followed its instinctual memory to speak out those two syllables, it would return to the heavens and become the dispassionate and desireless Heavenly Dao, grasping the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and also possessing self-consciousness!
"Who am I again?"
"It is Heav... "
As time passed, the two syllables in the memory of the Heavenly Dao reincarnated being became clearer and were about to be spoken out.
"Little Orange Cat." Liang Yi timely whispered softly at its side.
"I am Little Orange Cat, meow meow meow?"
The Little Orange Cat subconsciously repeated the name after Liang Yi’s words, setting the memory of "Heavenly Dao" into "Little Orange Cat," no longer to change.
But the next second it felt something was wrong. Was this silly name Little Orange Cat really its name?
