Immortal Refiner

Line after line, the characters containing the Soul Refinement Scripture were imprinted into Li Qing’s mind.

However, this only allowed him to memorize the scripture; it didn’t grant him immediate comprehension. He would still need to spend a considerable amount of time understanding and cultivating it.

Li Qing focused intently, realizing the Soul Refinement Scripture was so extraordinary that it could cause a sensation even among cultivators in the upper realm. This was an astonishing revelation, and he was determined to master it completely.

Dao Lord Bai Ling’s gaze sharpened as he turned toward the mountainside of Beast King Mountain.

”This four-spirit-root brat’s demon beast is remarkably similar to him. Despite its ordinary bloodline, it somehow managed to withstand the trial of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor.”

His gaze landed on a ferocious black tiger that had already climbed to the mountain’s summit. The massive creature trembled slightly, but its tiger eyes burned with an indomitable resolve.

Fan Tong had survived the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan’s trial and now qualified to receive the Heavenly Demon Tiger’s inheritance!

”Aowwww!”

The tiger roared fiercely, its primal roar still untamed and brimming with wildness.

Soon, the faint, dark purple phantom of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor nodded slightly and spoke:

”Not bad. To have reached this stage with such a bloodline, you must possess the right temperament.”

”But why would such a temperament choose to serve a human master?”

The Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor frowned, a human-like expression of bewilderment appearing in its tiger eyes.

In its view, serving a human master was utterly incomprehensible.

Just now, while Fan Tong was undergoing its trial, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor had naturally sensed the deeply imprinted Master-Servant Spirit Contract within Fan Tong’s divine soul.

This was undeniable proof of servitude to a human master!

With this in mind, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor declared:

”If you wish to inherit the legacy of my Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, you must sever this Master-Servant Spirit Contract!”

”How could the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan ever serve another as master?”

But Fan Tong shook its head vehemently. ”Then I don’t want the Heavenly Demon Tiger inheritance!”

At these words, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor’s face darkened with fury. With a swift transformation, it assumed the form of a burly man draped in dark purple brocade robes.

”Hmph, do you even realize what you’re saying?”

”If you inherit the legacy of my Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, not only will you achieve transformation, but you’ll also have a great chance of becoming a transformation god!”

Fan Tong, however, shook his head gruffly.

”Just empty words. If your clan was truly so powerful, how could it have been wiped out?”

The Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor froze at this remark.

Though confined within the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, it retained some awareness of events in the outside world.

Having resided on Beast King Mountain for eons, it hadn’t seen a descendant of its clan in ages.

It didn’t need to be told that the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan had likely met with disaster.

Dao Lord Bai Ling, who had been observing the scene, finally spoke up:

”You’re overstepping your bounds. It passed your trial and possesses five beast ancestor tokens. Regardless, it’s entitled to the inheritance—that was the established rule.”

Hearing this, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor roared in fury:

”How dare you defile the legacy of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan with a tiger demon who pledges allegiance to another master!”

Dao Lord Bai Ling remained unfazed. ”You should know the consequences of violating the ancient rules we established!”

”Besides, your Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan has already been annihilated. What’s the point of clinging to these outdated customs?”

”In my opinion, it would be better to entrust the clan’s inheritance to this tiger. Though its bloodline may be unremarkable, it might yet bring honor to your Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan in the future.”

Fan Tong remained silent, quietly resting on the ground to recover its strength.

It had resolved that if the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor demanded it forcibly sever its Master-Servant Spirit Contract, it would rather forfeit the inheritance altogether.

Finally, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor’s expression darkened.

His massive frame seemed to hunch slightly as he fell into a long silence. At last, he spoke:

”Very well.”

With these words, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor waved his hand.

The five beast ancestor tokens embedded in Fan Tong’s body instantly flew out, landing before a tomb mansion in front of the ancestor.

The jade-like bone tokens dissolved into the wind, vanishing without a trace.

Having completed this task, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor turned his back and declared:

”The core inheritance of our clan lies within this tomb mansion. How much you obtain depends entirely on your good fortune!”

Upon hearing these words, Fan Tong immediately charged into the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor’s tomb mansion.

A black shadow flashed past with incredible speed, hurtling directly into the tomb mansion.

Once inside, Fan Tong immediately stopped.

At the far end of the tomb mansion, a dark purple tiger skeleton stood at the center.

Aow!

A faint aura of immense power emanated from the dark purple skeleton, causing Fan Tong’s entire body to stiffen.

Looking at the skeleton, Fan Tong felt utterly insignificant, like an ant.

He had never experienced such a feeling, not even during his climb up the mountain!

He quickly deduced that the skeleton must have belonged to a fifth-tier transformation god great demon in its lifetime!

This was utterly unbelievable. He had expected to find inheritances of demonic techniques or divine abilities within the tomb mansion, not a skeleton.

After observing for a while, he noticed the skeleton remained motionless.

Only then did Fan Tong cautiously begin exploring the rest of the tomb mansion, careful to avoid getting too close to the skeleton.

Inside the tomb mansion, the first thing Fan Tong encountered was a wall covered in intricate demon script.

The moment Fan Tong glanced at it, he became completely lost in the characters.

To his eyes, the demon script seemed to come alive, each mysterious character pulsing with an otherworldly energy.

The demon script was incredibly complex, and Fan Tong couldn’t understand a single word!

He could only memorize the patterns, having never studied the demon race’s written language.

”Hmph, not even understanding demon script? No wonder you were tricked into forming a Master-Servant Spirit Contract.”

A disdainful voice echoed through the tomb mansion’s chamber.

Soon, a figure materialized from within the tomb.

With a flick of its finger toward the stunned Fan Tong, a dark purple spiritual light surged forth, striking the young tiger directly on the head.

In an instant, Fan Tong, who had been completely ignorant of demon script, suddenly grasped the meaning behind these intricate characters.

Yes, the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan had just imparted the demon race’s unique written language to him.

After completing this act, the Heavenly Demon Tiger Ancestor murmured, ”This little one... he actually stirred a strange resonance within my skeletal remains from my past life.”
