Chapter 96: Spiritual Beast Cultivation System (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Ai was almost as fast as Lin Shen!
“Have you really broken through to the Ascension Stage?”
“The Ascension Stage?”
Ai tilted her head in confusion. Obviously, she didn’t know the stages of the spiritual beast cultivation system.
Lin Shen could only patiently explain it to her.
Hearing this, Ai suddenly realized something and looked excited.
“No wonder I feel I can control my illusions better. So this is the Ascension Stage!”
Lin Shen suddenly became interested and said, “Ai, cast an illusion on me!”
“Huh?” Ai was stunned.
“Just do as I say. Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
Since Lin Shen insisted, Ai nodded slowly.
In the next second, Lin Shen’s vision suddenly distorted. The living room instantly disappeared, replaced by a dim and wide open space.
Countless cylindrical metal objects the size of millstones were piled up around the space.
These cylindrical metal objects stacked on top of each other, forming pillars that were nearly 100 meters tall. They were arranged in a disorderly manner, surrounding Lin Shen in the middle like a maze.
Lin Shen looked around and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It was different from the illusion he had imagined.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Shen wanted to roll his eyes.
The cylindrical metal objects were cat food cans that had been magnified countless times!
“What a glutton…”
Lin Shen was speechless. He shook his head and began to observe the surrounding environment.
He had to admit that the scene created by the illusion was very realistic.
When he touched the cans, he could feel the unique coldness of the metal.
The fragrance of meat in the air was also very real.
Lin Shen then used Shadows to sprint for more than a few kilometers, but he realized that he was still in the maze formed by the canned cat food and couldn’t walk out.
Seeing this, Lin Shen stopped in his tracks. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a long roar.
The dragon’s roar turned into sound waves that spread out violently.
Wherever it passed, the surrounding scenery instantly rippled like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shen already had an idea. He decisively stopped using Dragon Roar Through the Clouds.
If the illusion was broken, the spiritual beast itself would suffer a certain backlash. He didn’t want to hurt Ai.
“Okay, Ai, you can stop the illusion now.”
The surrounding scene instantly distorted and dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Shen realized he was back in the living room.
However, he still stood where he was without moving, as if his previous running around was just a dream.
“This illusion technique is indeed magical!”
Lin Shen clicked his tongue in wonder and looked at Ai in admiration.
It seemed the little fellow had really broken through to the Ascension Stage.
Otherwise, the illusion technique cast by a Spirit Awakening spiritual beast alone wouldn’t have been able to trap a Long Breath Stage cultivator like him.
It was good news. At least Ai had enough power to protect herself.
Any other cultivator at the first or second level of the Long Breath Stage might not be able to escape from that illusion.
However, that was also because Ai’s illusion was mainly aimed at trapping him.
If she had tried to attack her enemy with the illusion, the restraining effect might not have been so powerful.
Lin Shen’s mind was racing, but he didn’t let it show. He smiled and patted Ai’s head.
“Good. It’s very impressive.”
Ai grinned happily.
After a few words of praise, Lin Shen got down to business. “Ai, get ready. Come out of the city with me later.”
“Outside the city? Why, I’ve heard the general say it’s dangerous out there.”
“Training and treasure hunting. Aren’t you very sensitive to natural spiritual essence? Perhaps you can find some natural treasures. That way, we can sell them and exchange them for spirit coins to buy you a lot of canned cat food.”
Hearing the last sentence, Ai immediately threw all her doubts to the back of her mind and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“T understand. I’ll work hard to find treasures!”
With the canned cat food as her aim, Ai was very motivated. She was also very cooperative when Lin Shen asked her to enter the Beast Taming Pouch.
Putting away the Beast Taming Pouch, Lin Shen left the villa in a hurry and rushed out of the city.
When Dragonside City was first established, the cultivators and mighty figures of the three major sects gathered and worked together to establish a protection array for the city. It had been working for more than a thousand years.
For a thousand years, this array had been protecting the safety of Dragonside City.
There were rumors of spiritual beasts appearing in the surrounding cities from time to time, but such incidents had almost never happened in Dragonside City.
Even the demon tribes in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range never dared to attack this heavily guarded city when the conflict with Dragonside City was at its most intense. At most, they would harass the surrounding subordinate cities.
Dragonside City had been able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, and it was all thanks to this great array.
Because of that, Dragonside City had strict rules regarding entry and exit.
Everyone had to hold a token issued by the three major sects to enter and exit Dragonside City.
Furthermore, different tokens had different restrictions. If one used the wrong token, one might be trapped in the array. They might even be interrogated and captured by the guardians of the three major sects.
Fortunately, Lin Shen’s journey out of the city was very smooth.
Half an hour later, he appeared in the wilderness outside Dragonside City.
The nearest entrance to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range was more than 30 miles away from Dragonside City. Lin Shen didn’t raise any spiritual beasts that he could ride, so he could only travel on foot.
“I wish I could fly on a sword one day.”
Lin Shen thought of the sword light that he had seen flying across the sky on the day of the examination, and he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Unfortunately, the cultivator master stage was still too far away, so he could only think about it now..
