The little boy stopped, seeing a small white thing blocking his path, and glared at Feng Ming.
"I am the master's contracted divine beast."
"You are that egg?"
Everything in the space was controlled by Chu Lingwei. She would sense any additions immediately.
This little boy was the divine beast she had taken from Chu Xiyin.
"Yes," the divine beast said, his little face instantly beaming with a happy smile upon hearing his master's voice. "Master, I am the Xuan Tian Nine-tailed Illusion Cat. You can call me Mao Mao."
Feng Ming looked at the Xuan Tian Nine-tailed Illusion Cat, a flicker of sadness in its eyes. A newborn cat could already transform into a human, while it seemed it could only do so after its injuries were fully healed.
"Hello, Mao Mao. My name is Chu Lingwei."
Seeing the human-like Xuan Tian Nine-tailed Illusion Cat, Chu Lingwei crouched down and beckoned him.
He was in human form now, making it easy for people to mistake him for a human.
They were connected soul-to-soul, and he felt incredibly close to her.
"Then, like her, can I call you Wei Wei?" The illusion cat bypassed Feng Ming and pounced directly into Chu Lingwei's arms, hugging her neck tightly and speaking cautiously.
"Okay."
He looked utterly adorable, like a delicate porcelain doll, his eyes sparkling like a clear spring reflecting her image.
"This is Feng Ming. From now on, we will be inseparable companions." Chu Lingwei called Feng Ming to her side, looking at the two little ones before them. The three of them shared a life contract, and they would embark on a long journey together.
"Okay, I will protect you and Feng Ming," Mao Mao said, reaching out to hug Feng Ming and giggling.
"Let go of me quickly," Feng Ming struggled violently, held by someone other than its master. This was truly going too far.
Chu Lingwei stood up, amused, and began to introduce the space to them.
"The spiritual energy here is not very dense. You can cultivate here in the future."
Divine beasts would not grow if they did not cultivate, and would become waste beasts later.
"Wei Wei, this space shouldn't be so small." Mao Mao twitched his nose. He liked the scent within the space, which was the scent emanating from Wei Wei.
"Yes."
Chu Lingwei nodded, gazing at her space. It seemed to stretch out as far as the eye could see.
She could sense that there were still parts of the space she couldn't reach.
"Wei Wei, this place is already very good. My cultivation here is much faster than outside," Feng Ming flew to Chu Lingwei's side and gently nuzzled her with its fluffy head.
"Mm-hmm, you can cultivate here from now on." Chu Lingwei smiled, listening to Feng Ming's comforting words, and rubbed its head. What a thoughtful little angel.
"Wei Wei, we must go out. I know a place with good things."
The illusion cat knew that Chu Lingwei was here for trials and wouldn't be able to stay long. It pulled her hand, saying anxiously.
"Let's go."
Chu Lingwei took them out of the space. The illusion cat transformed into a small silver cat, its body slowly growing larger. "Wei Wei, hurry up and get on. I'll take you there."
Riding on the illusion cat's body, it galloped forward rapidly. At the same time, its body began to turn transparent in the wind, and so did they.
"This is an illusion technique."
Feng Ming crouched on the illusion cat's head, watching its body become transparent. They passed by six-tier spirit beasts without being detected.
"This illusion technique can even hide our presence," Chu Lingwei added.
"Yes, this is my special technique. Others cannot do it," the illusion cat replied with a delighted voice. It was precisely this technique that it used to evade persecution.
However, within this Heng Tian Secret Realm, no one could harm it.
Except for Chu Lingwei.
Soon, the illusion cat brought them to a spiritual mountain.
Looking at this spiritual mountain, Chu Lingwei's heart skipped a beat. This was the place where that man in black had subdued the Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scale.
"Wei Wei, what I want is inside that spiritual mountain."
Mao Mao looked at Chu Lingwei with anticipation, its eyes glistening, as if asking her to get it for him.
Chu Lingwei, "..."
"You're not suggesting Wei Wei go in, are you? It's very dangerous there," Feng Ming was the first to object to Wei Wei taking risks, and swatted the cat's head. "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I can't enter." The illusion cat looked pitifully at Chu Lingwei. "Wei Wei, I sense that the blood on your body is very different. You can definitely enter. I only want that small white flower at the foot of the mountain..."
Divine beasts have an innate intuition about what they desire.
"Alright, I'll go in and try. You guys wait here."
She believed that the man in black had already left with his mount, so it shouldn't be too dangerous here.
After Chu Lingwei finished speaking, she stepped onto her flying artifact and flew towards the spiritual mountain.
This time, it was different from last time. She felt herself passing through a very thin membrane without being blocked.
Upon reaching the foot of the spiritual mountain, she immediately saw a patch of small white flowers growing at the base, standing motionless in the wind.
Chu Lingwei, sure that there was no danger nearby, transplanted the small white flowers into her space. She then stood up and gazed at the towering spiritual mountain, wondering curiously where such dense spiritual energy originated.
"Wei Wei, come out quickly! Something has happened outside."
Just as Chu Lingwei was about to investigate further, the illusion cat's voice echoed in her mind. "Let's get out quickly, or we won't be able to leave at all."
Chu Lingwei froze. She could already feel the earth shaking violently.
Her eyes flashed, and she turned to fly outside.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy struck Chu Lingwei, hitting her directly. Chu Lingwei dodged quickly and discovered that hundreds of fifth and sixth-tier Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales had appeared around her.
They glared at Chu Lingwei, not giving her a chance to stand up, and attacked her together, determined to take her life.
She must have stumbled upon the Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales' nest.
With so many Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales attacking her simultaneously, Chu Lingwei dared not hold back. She utilized her spatial power and unleashed a Xuan Tian Blazing Fire in all directions.
The Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales that were close to her did not expect to be injured by a cultivator in the Spiritual Wheel Realm, and were sent flying.
These spirit beasts wanted her life. As soon as the first move landed, Chu Lingwei launched another. At the same time, she recklessly threw the Spiritual Explosion Talismans her master had given her from her space at these Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales.
At this moment, her life was paramount.
For a time, the sounds of explosions imbued with spiritual energy caused the already trembling spiritual mountain to shake even more violently.
After all, these Crimson-Eyed Sky-Scales were fifth and sixth-tier spirit beasts. Not all of them were killed by Chu Lingwei's counterattack. After throwing the Spiritual Explosion Talismans, Chu Lingwei spotted an unguarded area and charged out.
