The Unique Guardian Beast Master in Cultivation World

Chapter 570: Chapter 334: The Descend of the Heavenly Catastrophe

“What a wonderful treasure!”

Holding up shiny golden rope in his hand, Feng Qing’an had a brilliant smile on his face, yet, perched on his shoulder, the little phoenix Youyou seemed rather displeased with its feathers all ruffled up. But in Feng Qing’an’s eyes, this only made the phoenix look more interesting, causing him to break out in laughter.

“Everyone is gone, and here you are, still laughing!”

Youyou was quite dissatisfied with Feng Qing’an’s current demeanor. It was upset primarily with itself though, as during Feng Qing’an’s fight, it hadn’t been able to contribute much at all, tangled up by that hateful assailant from start to finish, and unable to lend any help.

“Of course I’m laughing. Look, those who tried to kill me ended up gifting me two treasures instead. Such good fortune should come a few more times!”

Feng Qing’an showed the radiant slender rope to the little phoenix, Youyou. In his other hand, he held a bronze tower about a foot tall, which was the loot he won from the battle.

The Ghost Soul Sect has been going on for countless years, but among all its members—including its three Human Immortals—only one Human Immortal has an immortal artifact. As for me, I’ve only just started mingling with these geniuses, but I’ve already managed to claim three artifacts.

It has to be said, these guys are seriously a fat source of resources. Meanwhile, everything else they have on them simply seems negligible in comparison.

“Did you forget about Black Mountain?”

Seeing Feng Qing’an so engrossed in his loot, Youyou reminded him.

“No, how could I possibly forget about Black Mountain? Don’t worry, it’s in a good condition for now!”

Feng Qing’an paid no heed to Youyou’s reminder. He was rather pleased that the geniuses fleeing for their lives had taken Black Mountain with them. Otherwise, he would’ve had a bit of a headache trying to figure out how to chase down those geniuses. Now all he needed to do was follow the connection from the Soul Contract.

“Let’s go. I’ll help you retrieve Black Mountain!”

Although the master of this Binding Immortal Rope was still alive, the immortal artifact was behaving quite obediently in Feng Qing’an’s hands without much resistance, even though Feng Qing’an was unable to refine it for the time being.

After playing with it for a moment, Feng Qing’an tossed it into the Cave Sky, leaving the spirit of the Cave Sky to suppress it. Whether it was the Binding Immortal Rope or a few Human Immortal artifacts, once inside the Cave Sky, they would behave accordingly.

“Do you know where Black Mountain is?”

Youyou cocked its head, a few traces of suspicion in its eyes as it looked at Feng Qing’an. It had begun to suspect if Feng Qing’an had been so overwhelmed by his gains in the battle that he forgot about Black Mountain.

“Even if it’s taken to the ends of the earth, I can still retrieve it!”

Despite being sealed in an immortal artifact, Feng Qing’an could still precisely pinpoint Black Mountain’s location, his voice filled with confidence.

“Is it because of the Soul Contract?”

A look of contemplation appeared in Youyou’s eyes. Logically speaking, Feng Qing’an should have completely lost all awareness of Black Mountain, yet he was still able to track its position. There surely had to be a reason.

“That’s right.”

Youyou had already witnessed the Soul Contract, so there was no need for Feng Qing’an to hide anything from her. A long time ago, Youyou had been nagging him, insisting on forming a Soul Contract with him.

However, Feng Qing’an refused back then, because Youyou was no Donghuang, who retained the memories of a past Human Immortal being.

Signing a Soul Contract with an entity of a significantly higher level could have resulted in lethal backlash from the contract. Therefore, Feng Qing’an was forced to reject Youyou for his own safety.

“If I signed a contract with you, you would know where I am even if someone captured or sealed me, right?”

Youyou asked Feng Qing’an with a hint of anticipation.

“Of course, if you ever get captured or sealed away one day, I’m positive I can find you.”

Feng Qing’an spoke with a rock-solid determination, stronger than ever before.

“That’s great!”

Upon hearing the boy’s words, Youyou couldn’t help but nuzzle its head against his neck. Even its mean-looking, fluffy feathers from earlier had smoothed out considerably. Clearly, Youyou’s mood had significantly improved and was absolutely delighted by Feng Qing’an gesture.

“Feng Qing’an, when do I get to sign a Soul Contract with you?”

Youyou asked eagerly.

“Perhaps we can give it a shot now.”

Feng Qing’an looked down at the tattered and chaotic ground caused by their recent battles. Among them, the hundred-mile-long abyss was particularly eye-catching. On both sides of the abyss, the mountains had collapsed, rivers dried up, and vegetation had virtually been obliterated. There were hardly any survivors left, turning the area into a barren wasteland.

“Now?”

While listening to Feng Qing’an, Youyou hesitated for a moment before declaring:

“Let’s save Black Mountain first. We can sign the contract once Black Mountain is rescued. What if those bad guys harm Black Mountain in the meantime?”

“Right, let’s rescue Black Mountain first.”

“Feng Qing’an, give me the location, I’ll carry you there.”

The fist-sized little phoenix flew down from the boy’s shoulder. Fluttering gracefully in the vast black flames overhead, the phoenix spread its wings, its long feathers dancing wildly in the raging flames.

The horrific scent of the peak monsters accompanied the commanding aura unique to the Phoenix Clan, causing the already eerily quiet ravished mountains and lands to fall into a deeper silence.
