The 123rd Dog-Beating Stick (Part 7)

With a forced smile, Xing Jian grabbed the still indignant Lin Xiu and landed him at the sect's main hall on Tian Ce Peak.

Upon arriving at their destination, the two stopped. Lin Xiu abruptly shook off Xing Jian's hand, "Father, that demonic beast was so disrespectful to you, how could you... how could you...!"

He was somewhat speechless. In his memory, his father had always been a towering figure, an all-powerful being.

But in front of that monster, his father was so humble that he completely doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Hmph! Are you trying to say that your father was being too cautious just now?" Xing Jian stood with his hands behind his back, not even looking at Lin Xiu, and asked to himself.

Lin Xiu was speechless for a moment. Facing his most respected father, he didn't know how to express his current thoughts.

Xing Jian was an old and shrewd man, and he knew exactly what his son was thinking. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Lin Xiu was still no match for Bai Ke.

He couldn't help but recall the time when he witnessed Bai Yan and his two companions encounter the Ink Qilin. Bai Ke, with his mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, was able to act with ease and composure before the Ink Qilin.

On the other hand, looking at his son Lin Xiu, whom he had painstakingly nurtured, although his cultivation was slightly inferior, he was not so weak that he dared not move in the face of the pressure from the Mo Qilin.

Moreover, even after I stepped in and backed down, Lin Xiu remained relentless, failing to grasp the situation. Compared to Bai Ke's measured approach, he was far inferior.

He gave a heavy, cold snort, greatly dissatisfied with Lin Xiu's performance. However, since Lin Xiu was, after all, the only bloodline left by his deceased wife, he still spoke earnestly:

"Now that you're a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, you'd be a pillar of your sect anywhere outside of our three major sects. How can you be so lacking in discernment?"

He pointed sharply at the main hall of Tian Ce Palace, "Don't you think there might be any demonic beasts lingering outside the main hall of my Tian Ce Palace sect?"

Ignoring Lin Xiu's stunned expression, Xing Jian continued angrily, "Moreover, even with his current strength, Father still has to treat that Ink Qilin with utmost respect..."

He paused for a moment, seemingly recalling his awkward situation in front of the Ink Qilin, coughed slightly, and then said:

"Even someone of my status and position has to treat that Black Qilin with utmost respect. Can't you use your brain to think about the secrets behind it?"

The black Qilin stayed in mid-air for a while, and seeing that no one else was passing through the nearby void, it let out a whoosh and fell from the sky back to its lair.

Its speed was like a shooting star chasing the moon, turning into a streak of black light and disappearing before Xing Jian and his son's eyes. Lin Xiu was dumbfounded, "Instant... teleportation???"

From the very first encounter with the Ink Qilin, he guessed that this demonic beast's strength must be far superior to his own, but he never expected that it could already teleport...

Teleportation sounds simple; once you understand the laws of space, not only teleportation, but even void teleportation is within your grasp.

However, the laws of space are too obscure and profound; how could ordinary people possibly comprehend them so easily?

However, the poor have their ways. If you can't comprehend the laws of space, can't you take another path? You should know that the ability to teleport is not the exclusive privilege of those powerful beings who have comprehended the laws of space!

The truth is that when ordinary cultivators enter the Void Returning stage, they inscribe Dao patterns into their bodies with the laws, and to a certain extent, they can resonate with heaven and earth based on the laws they comprehend.

Through this method, those powerful figures in the Void Returning Realm can achieve the legendary supernatural power of instantaneous teleportation.

Although it's not quite as good as the teleportation you naturally comprehend after fully understanding the laws of space, it's still much faster than traveling by yourself.

And most importantly, it's really high-class... So for a long time, the ability to teleport has been one of the important characteristics of a Void Returning Realm expert.

Xing Jian looked meaningfully at the invisible ripples left in the void after the Mo Qilin left, and said, "Teleportation, what's so special about teleportation? This beast was already at the Void Returning stage when it first arrived!"

As if struck by a bolt from the blue, Lin Xiu froze on the spot. He had already reached the Void Reversal stage when he arrived?

By now, he could roughly guess the identity of the Ink Qilin. Everyone knew that the Tian Ce Palace had a guardian spirit beast that was brought back from outside by the previous sect leaders.

However, it seemed that the spirit beast had a rather strange temperament, and very few disciples had actually seen it. So at first, Lin Xiu didn't realize that the Mo Qilin was the legendary spirit beast.

However, after Xing Jian's reminder, if he still couldn't guess the identity of the Ink Qilin, then he really had something wrong with his brain.

However, if the Mo Qilin was already at the Void Reversal level when it first arrived, then what level must it have reached in the past thousand years?

And yet he had dared to act so arrogantly and threaten such a powerful figure. Thinking of this, Lin Xiu felt his legs go weak.

Seeing Lin Xiu, on whom he had placed such high hopes, react in this way, Xing Jian couldn't help but shake his head. Where did that stinky rock get such good luck? He actually managed to pick up such an outstanding son.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to scold Lin Xiu, and instead gently reminded him: "It's not as you think. Spirit beasts have a much harder time advancing than humans."

Moreover, this fool has no interest in cultivation. If he had truly reached a higher realm, why would he be so leisurely? In my opinion, he's at most at the Great Perfection of the Void Reversal stage!

"Reverse Void...Great Perfection...that's all! ...That's all?" Lin Xiu felt like he was going crazy. What was wrong with his father?

That's a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Void Reversal Realm! How come in his father's words, he's just a mere minor cultivator who hasn't even reached the Golden Core stage?

Seeing Lin Xiu's shocked expression, Xing Jian sighed inwardly and said earnestly, "No matter how high his cultivation level is, he is still the guardian spirit beast of my Tian Ce Palace!"

"A show of respect on ordinary days is out of consideration for their profound cultivation and extraordinary seniority. If they are not respectful, so be it. You are a candidate in the Holy Son election; what can they do to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief; he had really been terrified.

Seeing this scene, Xing Jian felt a mix of emotions. He had placed high hopes on Lin Xiu and had spent countless rare and precious treasures to help him reach this level of cultivation.

I thought that I had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage and could overshadow the entire generation, but unexpectedly, a prodigy like Bai Ke emerged.

Not only is his cultivation level far superior, but his temperament is also far beyond what Lin Xiu and the others can match. Think about it carefully.

If Bai Ke is not excluded from the Holy Son Election, then all my years of planning may really go to waste.

Xing Jian made up his mind that after this bet, he would send Lin Xiu out to gain more experience and temper his character. Otherwise, even ten of him might not be a match for that little rascal.
