Chapter 1540: Essential Spirit Beast

"Little wolf dog?"

Li Luo was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh bitterly; the mighty Six-Tailed Sky Wolf had, in the mouth of his own Great-Great-Grandmother, turned into a mere little wolf dog?

But before he could reply, the bracelet trembled, a crimson light flew out, and directly transformed into a red little wolf with its tail tucked, truly resembling a wolf-dog.

The Six-Tailed Sky Wolf kowtowed and knelt repeatedly before Li Tianwang Zhen, simultaneously emitting a trembling voice: "Little Wolf pays respects to Li Tianwang Zhen!"

"Brother Wolf, I still prefer your former air of arrogance and defiance," Li Luo said, staring in disbelief.

The Six-Tailed Sky Wolf pretended not to hear; maintaining arrogance before a Dragon Clan Li Tianwang? The entire Sky Wolf Clan probably had no one with the guts to do so!

However, regarding Li Luo's teasing, the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf could only snort twice; after all, this kid was becoming increasingly perverted. The little brat who hadn't even entered the Marquis Realm back then now had his wings fully grown. Moreover, this kid's background was too hard; previously having a Clan Head grandfather was one thing, but recently a mother who was a Great Marquis of Unparalleled appeared, and now it was even more absurd... he had a Li Tianwang Ancestor and a Li Tianwang Great-Great-Grandmother.

The Six-Tailed Sky Wolf was very fortunate that although its attitude toward Li Luo had not been good in the past, it had at least helped him a bit at critical moments; otherwise, it would truly have to worry about settling scores later.

"I do not know what orders my lord Li Tianwang has?" the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf asked respectfully.

"I have given you an opportunity within the Dragon Clan, but you must accompany this little girl and stay with her for several years." Li Tianwang Zhen pointed at Li Hongyou, then looked at Li Luo and said, "I sense the aura of the Beast Taming Spirit Palace on you; I suppose you have obtained their secret method for raising 'Essential Spirit Beasts'? Implant it into this little wolf; when it grows up in the future, it will also bring you some use."

Li Luo was stunned; the so-called secret method of the "Beast Taming Spirit Palace" was precisely what he had obtained from Shen Yunge previously, but he had never had the chance to use it. He hadn't expected that even this had not escaped Li Tianwang Zhen's eyes; regarding this, Li Luo could only sigh that these Tianwangs were truly too terrifying.

"Are you willing?" Li Luo looked at the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf and asked.

Once the "Essential Lock" was implanted, the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf would be restricted by him; strictly speaking, this was also a more refined method of beast taming.

The Six-Tailed Sky Wolf had helped him repeatedly pass through dangerous situations over these years, so Li Luo still respected its opinion; if it did not want to have the "Essential Lock" implanted and become an Essential Spirit Beast restricted by him, then Li Luo was also willing to set it free.

After all, now that his strength had risen rapidly, the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf's Third Rank Marquis Realm strength was of negligible help to him.

Hearing this, the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf did not think for a moment and nodded repeatedly: "I am willing."

Although it was an Essential Beast, its intelligence was not weaker than that of humans; over these years, it had witnessed firsthand the talent and potential Li Luo possessed. Coupled with this kid's terrifying background, following him would surely be countless times better than wandering around by itself.

Seeing this, Li Luo extended his palm; a golden bead appeared in his palm, engraved with the patterns of ten thousand beasts. Faintly, countless different beast roars emanated from within it.

A drop of deep red essential blood slowly rose from between the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf's eyebrows, falling into the golden bead. The latter immediately began to merge, finally splitting into two parts; one part returned to between the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf's eyebrows, faintly forming a trace resembling a blood-red lock, while the other part fell into Li Luo's palm.

The blood-red patterns spread across the palm, finally vanishing quietly.

But Li Luo suddenly generated a strange perception; it was a special sense of control over the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf before him, as if with just a thought, he could inflict severe injury upon it.

Thus Li Luo knew that the Essential Lock had bound the Six-Tailed Sky Wolf.

"From now on, you will first accompany Senior Sister Hongyou and protect her safety. I also hope you obtain a satisfactory opportunity within the Dragon Clan; naturally, there will be chances to meet again in the future." Li Luo smiled, then took the scarlet bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Li Hongyou.

"Thank you." Li Hongyou accepted it and thanked him softly.

The Six-Tailed Sky Wolf then bowed respectfully to Li Tianwang Zhen before transforming into a crimson light and drilling back into the bracelet.

Seeing that Li Tianwang Zhen had finally finished handling the trivial matters, Li Tianwang Yun smiled and said, "Everyone, if all is ready, then let us begin dividing this 'Crystal Image'."

Hearing this, Li Luo and the others all perked up; this was the real main event.

Li Tianwang Yun waved his sleeve, and purple clouds rolled in from heaven and earth, finally transforming into a miraculous purple cloud lotus seat beneath the feet of Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and others.

Li Luo sat on the lotus seat; he turned his head to look at Lu Qing'er's position and found that she had kept her eyes tightly shut the whole time, seemingly in a state between sleep and wakefulness. Cold, biting chill flowed around her body, and at her smooth forehead, the "Saint Image Crystal Core" shone like a divine vertical eye, swirling with cold and mysterious fluctuations.

"Her state is special, and there is residual power from Li Tianwang Lu of the Golden Dragon Mountain protecting her, so we should not interfere," Li Jun said upon seeing Li Luo's gaze.

Li Luo nodded slightly; this time, Lu Qing'er's Ice Saint Seed had probably awakened completely. That power was too domineering; although it would cause Lu Qing'er's strength to advance at a terrifying speed, it would also bring great side effects, and sealing off emotions was one of them.

Perhaps when she opened her eyes again, even if she still remembered him, she would only regard him as the most ordinary friend. No, perhaps not even a friend, because she, with her emotions sealed, would not need so-called friends.

While Li Luo was lost in thought, Li Tianwang Yun had already acted; purple light rays slashed through the void in heaven and earth, directly cutting open the "Crystal Image" deep within the void, which resembled a crystal star.

Immediately, brilliant and vast crystal light poured down like liquid.

Within this torrent of crystals flowed elemental energy of the utmost purity, and even ancient, primordial talismans appeared and disappeared within it.

The crystal torrent split apart and roared down toward Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, Lu Qing'er, and others.

"Li Luo, the elemental energy contained in this 'Crystal Image' is extremely vast. You will likely need a considerable amount of time to refine and absorb it. After this, I will return to the Heavenly Abyss, and your Great-Great-Grandmother also needs to guard other areas, so the next time we meet, I do not know when that will be."

"I hope you can improve your own strength as soon as possible. These Ten Great Outer Shenzhou seem peaceful, but in reality, they stand on the edge of a cliff. The activities of the strange ones from the Dark World are becoming increasingly frequent, and the Unification Sect is secretly causing trouble."

"In the future, perhaps it will depend on you." Li Jun looked at the brilliant crystal torrent turning into a magnificent waterfall falling down and suddenly spoke seriously to Li Luo.

Li Tianwang Zhen beside him also nodded slightly and said, "I hope that the next time I see you, you will have reached the end of the path of Unparalleled."

"This junior will surely make an effort. Thank you, Ancestor, Great-Great-Grandmother, for your care."

Li Luo bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Li Luo knew that this time, Li Jun coming in his true form to save him had already taken considerable risk; after all, the Great-Great-Grandmother obviously could not always stand guard for the Ancestor.

So the next time they encountered a crisis, they would ultimately have to rely on their own strength to get through it.

At this moment, the crystal torrent roared down, covering the figures of Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge; as the crystal light condensed, it finally transformed into crystal mountains.

The figures of Li Luo and the others were then sealed in the center of the crystal mountains, motionless.

Only the vast and boundless energy continued to surge forth.

To refine and absorb such energy completely would certainly require a considerable amount of time; however, once they truly obtained this creation, their strength would surely achieve progress beyond imagination.
