Heaven Defying Medical Consort - Chapter 20
Chapter 20: Ancient Divine Beast!
Returning to the space, Xiao Muling recalled the sound of the heartbeat. She then walked to the stone wall and hesitantly placed her hand on it.
This time, the stone wall remained calm as if the last time she went to another place from here was just an illusion.
Puzzled, Xiao Muling retracted her hand and stared at the stone wall for a while before walking straight into the tower.
She walked to the door of the ‘summoning’ room and hesitated for a moment before finally entering the room regarding Spirit Martial Artists.
She searched through the ancient books that explained her situation but couldn’t find anything.
Xiao Muling opened her palm, and her energy condensed within it. A slight fluctuation appeared in the air, and the surrounding airflow quickened.
Also, the power in her body was indeed moving in the opposite direction.
She had clearly reached the Spirit Cultivator rank, but to outsiders, she was still that Xiao Muling who couldn’t cultivate.
Xiao Muling rubbed her chin with her fair fingers. “I think I’ll be safer too if others can’t tell any difference.”
Many people tried their best to increase their strength, and they wouldn’t expose their true power to others. Some people even wore divine artifacts to hide their strength.
It wasn’t a bad thing that she couldn’t be seen through by others.
Now, she could only think like this. In any case, it didn’t affect her cultivation. Her strength was still increasing, and her improvement speed was higher than that of ordinary people.
‘The Spirit Origin Pool truly isn’t bad. When combined with Sky Spirit’s heart mantra, my cultivation speed really increased greatly. Every time I go down…’ When Xiao Muling thought about how she felt at the bottom of the pool and how her body felt like it was being slashed by countless blades of ice and fire, she immediately felt pain.
Putting away her thoughts, she walked to the bookshelf and picked up the ancient books on it.
The cultivation of a Spirit Martial Artist also required martial techniques and cultivation techniques. Only then could one battle with others.
“Five Elements Spiritual Book.”
The five elements were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They were related to the five elemental Spirit Martial Arts.
She took it over and then grabbed another few books about Martial Skills and Spiritual Arts related to the other three attributes.
‘This will be enough for now.’ Looking at the books in her arms, she walked out.
Xiao Muling then walked to the ‘summoning’ door and pushed it open. At that moment, all she saw were array formation diagrams.
Xiao Muling couldn’t help but click her tongue when she saw the array diagrams on the walls, floor, and ceiling.
At this moment, it was as if she had arrived in a magical world. There were magic arrays everywhere, but compared to magic arrays, these array diagrams were more complicated and exquisite.
On these array diagrams were many totems with magical beasts. She could vaguely feel the aura of magical beasts, and… in her daze, she could even hear the low growls of magical beasts.
Looking around, she saw that the bamboo slips on the shelf were also engraved with formation diagrams.
She opened a bamboo slip, and a red light flashed.
Xiao Muling had no choice but to close her eyes.
As she closed her eyes, words appeared in her mind.
Summoners had to know about the Realm of Beast first. The magical beasts summoned by Summoners basically all came from the Realm of Beast, and in this world, nobody knew where the Realm of Beast was.
The foundation for becoming a Summoner was to be able to cultivate as a Spirit Martial Artist. A Spirit Martial Artist might not be able to become a Summoner, but one had to be a Spirit Martial Artist to become a Summoner.
Every Summoner had their own summoning array. As the level of the summoning increased, the summoning array would also change.
When summoning magical beasts, the summoning array would appear under the Summoner’s feet and where the magical beasts appeared.
Those who had the talent to become a Summoner could naturally sense the aura of the magical beasts in the Realm of Beast. As a Summoner’s cultivation level increased, they could hear the beast language under certain circumstances.
One could slowly summon some elementary-level magical beasts, intermediate-level magical beasts, and high-level magical beasts. The ones who could fight for the Summoner were Warbeast-level magical beasts.
The Summoner’s level was related to the magical beast’s level. The level of the magical beast that the Summoner could summon was the Summoner’s level.
If the magical beast summoned by the Summoner wanted to make a contract, both parties had to agree. If one party was unwilling, they couldn’t form a contract and could only summon!
After reading these words, Xiao Muling opened her eyes and looked at the bamboo slip in her hand.
This was how Summoners became Summoners. Hence, her father was the only Summoner in the family.
‘Xiao Liangxiao is now recognized as a Summoner. Could it be that she can already feel the aura of a magical beast?’ Withdrawing her thoughts, Xiao Muling looked at the bamboo slip that wrote the method to condense a summoning array and how to send away the summoned magical beasts.
Thinking of the giant wolf that had just arrived, she put away the bamboo slip.
She already knew how to summon magical beasts and send them away.
‘Warbeast—that wolf is probably at the Warbeast level. After all, it could already fight. Magical beast ranks: young beast, magical beast, spiritual beast, followed by Warbeast, holy beast, divine beast, super divine beast, leader rank, black rank, heaven rank, lord, great lord, venerable rank, Beast King…’
‘From what I remember, it seems like my father can summon… divine beasts?’ Xiao Muling wondered if he had improved over the years.
It was said that among the Beast Race, the most powerful were Beast Kings.
Rather than calling ‘Beast King’ a rank, it would be more accurate to call it a title of honor. The ones below it were the ranks of magical beasts.
As long as the Beast Kings were strong, they could command them. However, it was written that nobody in this world could summon a Beast King.
‘What rank is the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox? There are no records in the book.’ Xiao Muling shook her head and sighed. She picked up another book and continued reading.
After that day, other than going out to eat, Xiao Muling had been reading books, cultivating, reading, cultivating…
Only by making herself stronger could she do what she wanted to do!
She didn’t know that the outside world was already in chaos while she was in seclusion.
In the living room of the Xiao family, almost all of the powerful and influential people in the capital were gathered here. The living room was filled with black linen.
Everyone looked at Xiao Canglan with solemn expressions.
Xiao Canglan sat at the head of the table. His expression darkened as he watched them sit there like interrogating criminals.
He knew what they were here for, but… it was impossible!
“Xiao Family Leader, someone saw an ancient divine beast appear in the sky above the Xiao family residence on the day when the storm lightning appeared in the Xiao family. Why don’t you invite this Summoner out?” Finally, someone couldn’t take it anymore and stood up to talk about their purpose in coming here.
“There’s no ancient divine beast!” Xiao Canglan’s words were firm, and his gaze was even more resolute!
This matter had been discussed everywhere during this period of time. He had investigated and found no Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox at all!
He didn’t find anything when the corridor collapsed that day, but he also felt that something was wrong when the corridor collapsed for no reason. Therefore, he reorganized the Xiao family’s defenses.
“Many people saw it. Xiao Family Leader, don’t deny it.” The person on his left said this and looked at him with deep jealousy!
‘Their Xiao family has already collapsed. How could there still be someone who can summon an ancient divine beast!?’
To be able to summon an ancient divine beast, this Summoner’s strength was rare even in the entire Spirit Summoning Continent, let alone Archean Spirit Kingdom!
