Chapter 6, The Golden Little Beast
"What level are you at now?" Li He murmured softly as he saw the white jade dragon turtle, clearly not wanting him to understand certain matters. Naturally, he would not seek to make himself uncomfortable. He changed the subject and inquired instead.
Li He began to leave cautiously, half an hour later
Hearing the words of the White Jade Dragon Turtle, Li He felt a sense of relief in his heart. He quietly inquired, "Is this desolate palace incomplete?"
Hundreds of shadowy fire crows, each over 1 meter long, with gray-brown plumage, hooked beaks, short wedge-shaped tails, and a black diamond-shaped mark on their foreheads, spewed forth flames that scorched seven young men
The white jade dragon tortoise with its hooves facing the sky, and he cannot say anything about it... quite speechless...
The White Jade Dragon Turtle said little, continuing to focus on its actions. It drew a symbol array on the ground, then flew into the sky, tracing one mysterious mark after another. Elusive!
The White Jade Dragon Turtle glanced nervously and murmured, "What is going on? How could this race appear in the lower realm? And that foul plate. It seems I need to take some time to understand this!"
"Pah, those matters are not something you are qualified to know." The white jade dragon turtle lay lazily on Li He's head, its four hooves facing the sky.
I did it! Soon, the roar of the white jade dragon turtle echoed, as it turned out that the golden little beast had discovered him. With a curious expression, it played with him in its hands, just like a child who had found a toy
A group of young people gritted their teeth, each one breathing steadily, appearing to be seasoned by the trials of battle, certainly not inexperienced novices.
The seven individuals stand united; as soon as one of them is scorched by flames, the remaining six will immediately exert all their efforts to protect their companion, even at the risk of sustaining injuries themselves.
He naturally did not dare to rescue by himself, as his meager strength was insufficient to even fill the gaps of the Shadow Fire Crow. In secret, he communicated with the golden little beast, hoping to leverage its help to save the person, after all, they were from the Wu family
Li He suddenly felt that his worldview had collapsed. Although he knew that there were divine beings above the Martial Emperor, in his eyes, the Martial Emperor was already the supreme powerhouse. However, now in the eyes of the White Jade Dragon Turtle, he had become nothing but trash. He felt that his mind was no longer sufficient!
Brother Wu, rest assured
Although Li He was shocked by everything that had happened, he quickly steadied his mind. He hurriedly communicated with the ancient palace, and this time it went very smoothly. He effortlessly absorbed the ancient palace into his brow, and only then did he curiously observe the lively little golden beast on the ground, which was jumping around and making chirping sounds.
"It has hidden itself in my hair to sleep again," Li He replied
After a long time, the white jade dragon turtle finally let out a sigh of relief. It jumped onto Li He's head, with its four hooves facing the sky, and lazily said: "Let's go, all traces here have been erased. It is temporarily safe now"
It should only possess the strength of a ninth-tier martial apprentice
The azure giant claw seemed as majestic and vast as the heavens and the earth, evoking a profound sense of awe from the depths of the soul. Just a few days ago, he was merely an ordinary person, needing to carefully disguise himself in order to seek a sliver of survival. Yet today, he has encountered such an extraordinary existence. His heart was filled with immense confusion, yet at the same time, he was equally exhilarated. Although he yearned for such power, he was self-aware. He must absolutely not be overly ambitious! Although he yearned for such power, he was self-aware. He must absolutely not be overly ambitious!
Seven warriors, both male and female, are all at the martial apprentice level, and they are quite young. Their garments are exquisite and luxurious, and the weapons in their hands are pulsating with elemental energy, clearly indicating that they are high-grade magical artifacts. It is evident at a glance that they come from distinguished backgrounds
Then Li He asked a series of questions: "My mother, that azure giant claw, and the golden little beast?"
Leading the way was a figure with a robust physique, wielding a silver-white long sword. Their long black hair flowed wildly, and as the sword was swung, dazzling arcs of silver light were produced, exuding an extraordinary presence
In the end, despite Li He’s repeated inquiries, he received no response whatsoever. The White Jade Dragon Turtle simply did not reply! With no other option, he had to stop and continue to question about the Abandoned Palace, as he had now obtained the Abandoned Palace and hoped to learn more about it: "Regarding the Ancient Palace."
"Yes, something important is missing," said the white jade dragon turtle, somewhat perplexed. "As for you now, you are unable to activate the Ruins Hall, and you cannot even enter it at all. Only when you cultivate to the level of a warrior will you gain the Ruins Hall's recognition and obtain the right to enter it"
Indeed, it is the case that hundreds of shadow fire crows cannot swiftly and decisively kill a single person in a short period of time, suggesting that this battle is likely to continue for some time
I can barely be considered a Martial Sovereign! However, if I were to make another move without the essence of the Soul Path, I would be risking my life. The White Jade Dragon Turtle felt somewhat embarrassed, but immediately began to curse: "Damn it, if it weren't for the damage to my soul..."
Sigh, I should go out. There are still a lot of problems that need my resolution! Li He suppressed the doubts and excitement in his heart; what he should do now is to completely take control of Liu City. This will be the origin of his power's development! He had not had the time to observe his surroundings until now, and when Li He finally paid attention, he realized that he was no longer at the ancestral home. Instead, he was in the Beastly Mountain Range! His mouth twitched, and he inwardly cursed the unreliability of the Bai Yu Long Gui for bringing him to such a dangerous place.

Instead, he was in the Beastly Mountain Range! His mouth twitched, and he inwardly cursed the unreliability of the Bai Yu Long Gui for bringing him to such a dangerous place. It is important to note that he only has the strength of a first-level martial apprentice, coming here is simply courting death. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he was only at the outskirts of the Beastly Mountain Range, where generally there would not be powerful elemental beasts, only low-level elemental beasts.
Puh, the Martial Emperor?!" The white jade dragon turtle mocked, saying: "The Martial Emperor is nothing but trash!"
"Then what is your relationship with my mother? My mother..." Li He inquired cautiously
"Young man, do not dwell on it. Speaking more about those matters is of no benefit!" Bai Yulonggui said, but then he changed the subject. "Where has that golden little beast gone?"
The Shadowfire Crow, a first-tier elemental beast, poses little threat to martial artists. However, the terrifying aspect lies in their gregarious nature, often appearing in groups, with at least hundreds of them. A swarm of Shadowfire Crows circling in the sky and spewing flames can exhaust a ninth-tier martial apprentice to death.
First and foremost, we must rescue our companions
Li He took a distant glance; there stood a line of seven young martial artists, back to back, wielding swords, bows, silver hammers, and other weapons. Their clothes were tattered, their arms and chests covered in scars, as they raised their heads and brandished their weapons, battling against the shadowy fire crows circling in the sky
"Wuzun?" Li He raised his eyebrows, feeling speechless in his heart, "Then, what about the golden little beast?"
Beside the seven warriors, more than twenty shadow fire crows have already been pierced and fallen to the ground by sharp weapons, with feathers and blood scattered all over the place, indicating that this battle has been ongoing for a while
Li He squinted his eyes, pondering in his heart. After a final sigh, he swiftly darted away. As he rushed in, he saw the family crests worn by those young men, which were indeed the crests of the Wu family
The white jade dragon turtle was tossed back and forth, regardless of how much it cursed. The golden little beast continued to play joyfully, and it could be said that it simply did not understand the words of the white jade dragon turtle
The sound of birds flitting through the forest came from a distance, occasionally accompanied by the startled cries and curses of young men. Li He raised his eyebrows, immediately realizing that there were martial artists engaged in combat with the Shadow Fire Ravens. For Li He, who often gambled on beasts, he was naturally very familiar with the Shadow Fire Ravens.
Upon hearing the words of the White Jade Dragon Turtle, Li He was not the least bit angry. If he, who was originally unable to cultivate, had already managed to do so, how could there not be other miracles occurring?
Whoosh!
"Spray." Wu Ze spat out the crow's feather from the corner of his mouth, brandishing his large knife, which emitted streaks of light. He cursed loudly, saying: "What a damn misfortune, how could we encounter this group of beasts? Everyone, come closer, make sure not to scatter. If anyone dares not to save their partner, I will be the first to chop them down!"
He has long been unable to contain his inner feelings
Hehe... Li He chuckled quietly, remaining silent.
The white jade dragon turtle remains petrified, gazing at the golden little beast, with a face full of disbelief
The ancient palace is a congenital spiritual treasure, containing nine layers of prohibitions that you must break through one by one relying on your own strength. The white jade dragon turtle explained: "Moreover, it itself is an extremely powerful domain treasure; congenital spiritual treasures of the domain level are quite rare. Never mind, saying too much is of no use. The mysteries within are for you to explore on your own! Furthermore, you cannot even activate such a treasure. As for what is inside? No one knows at all." The mysteries within are for you to explore on your own! Furthermore, you cannot even activate such a treasure. As for what is inside? No one knows at all.
During this period, Li He began to communicate with the ancient palace that was absorbed into his sea of consciousness. With a stir in his heart, the ancient palace quietly floated within his sea of consciousness, concealing all its brilliance
Then, are they the Martial Emperor? Li He asked the greatest confusion in his heart
"You little brat, you have exhausted this old turtle of mine to death." The white jade dragon turtle shouted in anger, looking at the golden little beast on Li He's shoulder, filled with boundless resentment, yet unable to vent it.
Li He chuckled to himself; this white jade dragon turtle had always been imposing, yet this time it had actually fallen to a small beast. Just thinking about it was immensely satisfying. Moreover, it happened right in front of him, which also left him somewhat puzzled about the origins of this golden little beast. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing extraordinary about it, except for a translucent white horn on its head. However, it possessed the power to repel the terrifying azure giant claw from the sky, which was enough to make one feel a sense of dread just by recalling it.

Upon careful observation, this ancient hall does not seem to possess any peculiar features. Moreover, it appears that this ancient hall is incomplete. Li He felt a stir in his heart and wished to enter. However, he encountered an extremely powerful obstacle, as if his strength was insufficient. He was instantly rendered speechless, gazing at the simple and unadorned hall with a sense of helplessness in his heart
The white jade dragon turtle was solemnly inscribing runes in the air, while a small golden beast lay on its shoulder, soundly asleep. Li He felt a headache coming on; what was going on with this small golden beast? How did it end up sleeping on his shoulder?
Sigh, there is no other way. It seems I can only wait and ask that old turtle; he should know something. Li He thought for a moment, then his mind retreated into the ancient temple, and he opened his eyes once again
However, in the face of this issue, the White Jade Dragon Turtle remained completely silent, offering not the slightest opportunity. No matter how much Li He pressed for answers, the White Jade Dragon Turtle remained calm and composed, lazily lying on his head with its four hooves stretched out towards the sky
Li He was speechless; this was not what he had imagined. His mind was in a state of chaos. The oppressive aura was overwhelming, making him feel utterly powerless to resist, as if he were facing the suppression of the entire universe.
