Chapter 13: Spiritual Transformation. With
the restoration of their shared secret consciousness, Yunze noticed a change in his surroundings.
He found himself in a dense forest.
Here, he saw the world suddenly bathed in a brilliant gold, and a small golden beast hatched from a golden egg, its body gradually growing…
The memories were rather monotonous; from childhood to adulthood, everything could only be described as bland.
"No wonder it yearns for the outside world so much."
Yunze naturally knew that this memory belonged to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
He had considered that, given his status as a mythical beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion might intertwine with his destiny at some point, but he hadn't anticipated that this intertwining would happen so quickly.
"It seems my position in its heart is far higher than I imagined."
Thinking this, Yunze's gaze softened considerably.
He silently grouped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, and others.
They were people he would cherish for the rest of his life!
After this memory ended, Yunze felt a sudden, violent shock in his brain. He then realized that something in his mind felt like it was being torn apart, the pain causing his face to contort in agony.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, seeing Yunze's closed eyes and pained expression, revealed a struggle in its golden eyes.
After a moment's thought, it gently extended its forelimbs and cradled Yunze in its arms. A delicate pink tongue, its barbs retracted, extended and gently licked Yunze's face, as if comforting him.
As a spirit beast possessing spiritual attributes, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion naturally knew what Yunze was going through.
A newborn infant's spiritual sea is as small as a fingernail, barely deserving the term "spiritual sea."
But now, Yunze's spiritual power, intertwined with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's power of destiny, was being cleansed by its powerful spiritual energy, gradually expanding and becoming fuller.
Spiritual power is the most difficult thing to cultivate on the entire continent. To improve it, one must cultivate unique spiritual power techniques and refine rare and precious spiritual materials.
The former is almost impossible to find on the continent, while the latter is equally rare.
Otherwise, the number of spiritual-attribute soul masters and soul beasts on the continent wouldn't be so scarce.
This is an extremely precious gift for Yun Ze!
Having experienced Yun Ze's memories earlier, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion already knew that this little guy possessed an incredibly rich collection of memories.
However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't intend to sever ties with Yun Ze because of this. In its eyes, regardless of who Yun Ze was, it only knew that the two were the only auspicious beasts in the world, its only kindred spirits.
Therefore, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had only one thought in its mind: to protect Yun Ze.
After a long while,
Yun Ze's painful expression gradually eased, but a line resembling a vertical eye appeared between his pink brows.
This eye, though tightly closed, possessed a noble white-gold hue, unlike the bewitching red glow on the forehead of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Yunze's appearance was already considered one of the most perfectly sculpted features in the world, and this vertical eye added an extra layer of nobility.
Only after his facial expression returned to normal did Yunze open his eyes.
Suddenly, a sharp glint shot out from them.
"My mental power has increased so much?" Checking his body, Yunze was delighted to find that his mental power had reached the size of a small pond.
For a one-year-old child, such a level of mental power was absolutely rare. Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy in this pond was much higher than before.
There also seemed to be a peculiar energy on his forehead, but he couldn't use it for the time being.
He also felt a warm sensation on his face. Wait, why is it still moving?
Yunze blinked and saw a slender tongue gently licking his face. As if realizing Yunze had woken up, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly withdrew its tongue, looking at Yunze with a hint of joy.
"Big guy, why are you doing this?" Yunze's pleasant voice came from his mouth, a complex expression appearing on his small face. He reached out and gently stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's face.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt Yunze's touch, half-closing its eyes in enjoyment, and at the same time, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
"Because this little guy is the most important person in my world."
"But we've only known each other for less than a day."
"We've known each other for a long time now." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said, then used its mental power to transmit its message to Yunze, "I won't tell Uncle Di Tian and the others what I saw in my memories."
Yunze opened his mouth slightly, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
After a while, he smiled brightly, "Okay, this is just a secret between us."
"Hmm!"
At this moment, they also noticed that the golden cocoon enveloping the man and beast began to gradually melt away. When it had almost completely dissipated, Yunze and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw Di Tian standing not far away, looking helpless.
Yunze subconsciously shrank into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's arms.
Oh no! This is bad!
This little guy is Xingdou's precious darling. Even if he secretly intertwined his fate with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion behind Di Tian's back, he would probably be relentlessly hunted down by Di Tian, let alone doing it in front of him now.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion knew this too, so it tightly protected Yun Ze in its arms, its eyes warily watching Di Tian.
Di Tian's lips twitched.
This little guy, I raised you, and now you're going to turn against me for a little guy you've only known for less than a day?
"Alright, no need for this, I won't do anything to him." Di Tian said somewhat helplessly, glancing at the little guy in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's arms. Well, now Xingdou's fate and the fate of the far north are completely merged.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Yun Ze both breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still not completely relaxed.
After a while, the Ice Emperor also arrived.
In fact, she had already sensed Di Tian's aura earlier, and he was moving very fast!
Fearing that Di Tian might harm Yun Ze, she pushed her speed to the limit, but unfortunately, her cultivation was still far inferior to Di Tian's, so she arrived much slower.
Seeing Yun Ze's small body nestled in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's embrace, Bing Di breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a strange sense of displeasure.
"Hmph~"
"Little Ze, come to Sister Bing'er." She glanced at Di Tian, and seeing that he didn't react, she took two steps forward and beckoned to Yun Ze.
"Okay."
Yun Ze was about to change his position and hadn't even escaped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's embrace when the latter pulled him back against its chest.
Bing Di's eyes instantly turned hostile.
This auspicious beast... was it trying to steal her little one? She couldn't
win against Xue'er, but she finally had time to spend with Xiao Ze; how could she let a little guy steal her Xiao Ze away?
Facing Hyotei's unfriendly gaze, the three-eyed golden lion, already possessing a rather strong personality, showed no fear. It glared back with its beautiful, bright golden eyes, meeting Hyotei's gaze across the distance.
Yunze, "~(￣▽￣")~"
