Chapter 751: Can It Still Be Chosen??
"My cousin is right; I truly have mastered the Summoning Art."
Ye Qingran curled her lips and smiled.
She hadn't known such a thing as Summoning Art existed before, but thinking of that door she could open at any time, full of mysterious unknowns, she felt somewhat eager to try.
Of course, she wasn't blindly confident; she instinctively felt she must have also mastered the Summoning Art!
"What?"
Yun Qing suspected she had misheard.
Could it be that Ye Qingran didn't catch it, that she was being sarcastic toward her?
"Heh heh!" Yun Qing's smile was extremely sarcastic. She didn't believe Ye Qingran truly possessed the Summoning Art!
"Granddaughter, are you sure you want to try?"
Yun Batian asked while giving Ye Qingran a sidelong glance, as if saying: Summoning Art is something you encounter, not demand; we won't force you, granddaughter, and you won't be ashamed!
Ye Qingran pretended not to see and said, "Sure!"
Yun Qing handed the Cloud Map to Ye Qingran, while she stood aside, arms crossed, leisurely poised, ready to mock Ye Qingran.
Ye Qingran took the Cloud Map, tried sensing it, and as soon as she probed with her spiritual energy, a familiar black gate materialized before her, towering like a giant, its heavy aura like a mountain, causing her heartbeat to quicken.
At the same time, a powerful force tried to pull her in, but this time she was prepared and no longer feared it.
She gave the door a push, surprised that such a massive door could be moved lightly; fearing it might be like Pandora's box, where opening it would unleash countless uncontrollable events, she quickly withdrew her hand.
Of course, this was only visible to Ye Qingran; others still saw on the Cloud Map the circular sigil representing sensing ability, with the central cloud-shaped pattern remaining dim.
"You've been here for half a day; does it actually work?"
Yun Qing urged impatiently.
Ye Qingran turned her head to her and said, "My cousin may know the Summoning Art, but she still can't choose the summoned target, right? That saber-toothed tiger was summoned randomly, wasn't it?"
Yun Qing frowned, "So what if it is?"
She didn't think it was a big deal. After all, being able to summon a Spirit Beast from the Cloud Map is already remarkable!
"I'm different; with so many Spirit Beasts to choose from, it's truly agonizing!"
Ye Qingran spread her hands, showing her genuine helplessness.
Yun Batian's mouth twitched, "Granddaughter, are you serious?"
Ye Qingran looked at her sons with a pleading gaze, "Xiao Hu Xiao Chen, what Spirit Beast do you want mother to summon?"
"Can we still choose?"
Everyone stared at Ye Qingran in disbelief, seriously suspecting she was being pretentious!
Xiao Hu didn't hesitate, "I want a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast!"
"Then I want the Azure Dragon Divine Beast!"
"Done," the two children added, "the really powerful kind!"
Seeing her sons so unabashed, Ye Qingran's mouth twitched.
Erza, you really are mother's precious treasure!
"A mature Azure Dragon Divine Beast and a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast?" Yun Qing sneered, "What dream are you having? Only the topmost summoners can handle Spirit Beasts of this caliber; what right does your mother have?"
Not only Yun Qing, but the rest of the Yun Tribe also expressed doubt.
Yun Qing being able to summon a high‑rank Spirit Beast already left them in awe.
Ye Qingran's strength might still be inferior to Yun Qing's; how could she possibly summon an ancient Divine Beast?
"Granddaughter, never force it; if it fails, just let it be!" Yun Batian worried that if Ye Qingran failed, she would suffer backlash, since Summoning Art, like taming, carries risk upon failure.
"Although the difficulty is a bit higher..." Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "but it's not impossible!"
Those words prompted everyone to glance at each other, thinking Ye Qingran was joking.
"Perhaps she just doesn't want to lose to Yun Qing, so she said that?"
Yun Qing and Yun Ba Hai wore scornful expressions.
"Overreaching!"
Ye Qingran attempted to communicate with the Cloud Map; her spiritual energy instantly passed through it and entered another world.
She couldn't discern what that world looked like, only that there were countless dots before her.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet.
And a few gray specks.
Ye Qingran instantly understood that those specks represented Spirit Beasts, progressing from red to violet, with strength and lineage increasing accordingly.
The violet specks were ancient Divine Beasts. The gray ones were those she could not summon at present.
Moreover, she could choose the desired Spirit Beast with her will.
Ye Qingran tilted her head and, following Xiao Hu's and Xiao Chen's requests, selected two Spirit Beasts.
"Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, by the blood of the Yun Tribe I command you, heed my summons!"
After Ye Qingran finished speaking, the Cloud Map showed no response.
"Cousin Ye, where are the Spirit Beasts you summoned?"
Seeing no movement, Yun Qing couldn't help but flash a mocking smile, reaffirming that Ye Qingran could not summon any Spirit Beast!
Yet, before she could revel for a few seconds, a sigil appeared in the void above both sides of her head.
The phantom images of the two Spirit Beasts slowly manifested!
On the left was a colossal dragon, a hundred zhang long, entirely jade‑colored; on the right, a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast whose wings resembled clouds hanging from the heavens, its body ablaze with holy fire.
The true forms of Spirit Beasts vary by strength and lineage; larger ones indicate greater power and superior bloodline.
These two ancient Divine Beasts, Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, had reached their utmost forms, appearing overwhelmingly majestic and awe‑inspiring!
Whether intentional or not, Yun Qing felt the two Divine Beasts bearing down on her head, within reach, almost suffocating her.
The Yun Tribe folks were all dumbfounded.
Ye Qingran really summoned the ancient divine beasts Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird!
