"Alright, alright, it seems this is fate. Xi Meng, you have truly brought me so many surprises."
I completely did not understand what she was talking about. These eggs have offensive capabilities?
"Do you know what this means?"
"I don't understand. What exactly is the Underworld Beast you mentioned?"
"Child, listen to me. These Underworld Beasts were indeed created by me. There have been many chosen successors during this time, but one batch after another, to them, the Underworld Beasts are merely weapons. To the Underworld Beasts, those successors are just subjects to obey. But you have given them new life. In other words, now, the true master of each Underworld Beast is you."
"Really? That's wonderful!" I had some lingering concerns.
"I am very much looking forward to how they will be after shedding their burdens and your growth."
"So what do I need to do now?"
"It seems we can't proceed as planned. You must wait now; the growth of the Underworld Beasts requires you to be by their side. Let's move forward once they are fully formed."
"How long do I need to wait?" My companions are out there fighting desperately.
"Don't worry; I understand your concerns. Please be patient. When the day comes that you successfully emerge, trust me, you will be proud of your strength. Now, summon your magical beast."
"Little Pink can come out now?"
"It is needed at this moment; this group of Underworld Beasts requires its guidance."
"Come out, Little Pink."
"Master, master, are you okay? Where is this? I couldn't sense you at all before." Little Pink flew around, making me dizzy; this Little One.
"Don't worry, Little Pink, come down first and listen to me—wow, Little Pink, when did you evolve?!" This, it actually turned into a butterfly, although it was only transparent with a slight pink hue, it was indeed the form of a butterfly.
"Haha, haha, look at that, Master, how do I look? I'm beautiful, right? But I have to thank you, Master."
"Thank me? But, Little Pink, what level are you at now?"
"Just watch, Master." It was green; so quickly, it had already reached level four.
"You're a monster, Little Pink, this fast?"
"Hehe, it's all thanks to you, Master. My growth completely relies on the power from you."
"Me?"
"Master, what level are you at now?"
"When I arrived, I was only an intermediate Reaper. I haven't been here long, so I shouldn't have improved much."
"Impossible, Master, think again."
"Alright, Xi Meng says she really hasn't improved." She spoke again, always appearing suddenly.
"Who are you?" Little Pink was on high alert, watching the surroundings.
"This is my creation; who do you think I am?"
"Master, who is she really?"
"I'll tell you slowly later." I reassured Little Pink and then asked her: "Why did you level up so quickly?"
"Your first clone indeed hasn't changed at all, but your second clone has already reached the advanced level of Nether Sect. My Nether Technique doesn't have a level, but your current strength can definitely defeat all opponents at the Nether Sect level. If you add the Underworld Beast and your magical beast, then as long as they are not experts above the Lord of the Underworld level, it should be no problem at all."
"Really that fast?" I was momentarily speechless with excitement. I had been feeling somewhat uncomfortable lately because my cultivation speed was much slower than everyone else's, but now I finally had some confidence.
"Don't get too happy too soon. Remember, your first clone cannot just stagnate like this. This place is suitable for cultivating Nether Energy, but once you leave here, your speed will slow down again. If you want to become a true powerhouse, you must utilize both clones to reach your strongest state."
"I understand, please give me time," I said firmly.
"Very interesting, the mutated Phoenix Butterfly. I look forward to your growth."
So, I will do my utmost. Senior, please wait for me a little longer; soon, I will succeed...
"Girl, in a situation where the opponent has many numbers, how can you use the Holy Triangle Formation?! Wrong, wrong! Change to the Battle Chariot Formation and charge through with all your might. As long as there's a breakthrough point, we won't have to worry about not being able to take them down." Yapu Teacher waddled around me with his big belly, chattering incessantly. To be honest, I had no idea what his actual strength was or what race he belonged to; perhaps he was just an illusion created by an Underworld Beast.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, teacher."
Ever since my ten thousand and ten Underworld Beast eggs began to hatch gradually until many had already broken their shells, Yapu Teacher had been by my side. To better utilize these Underworld Beasts, we needed the most precise formations; after all, having over ten thousand of them was quite a number. For a long time now, while Yapu Teacher explained things to me, I observed and began to understand these creatures known as Underworld Beasts. The ten thousand and ten were divided into three tiers: low, medium, and high.
Low-level Underworld Beasts possess no intelligence and are akin to cannon fodder; however, even low-level Underworld Beasts are not so easily eliminated. It mainly depends on the user's own Nether Energy. In other words, as long as I don't die, they will never disappear. Low-level Underworld Beasts correspond to the Nether Sect level, while medium-level Underworld Beasts surpass low-level ones in various aspects and correspond to the Lord of the Underworld level.
Now, the low-level Intermediate Nether Beasts have successfully hatched; there are 5,000 low-level and 5,000 medium-level ones. As for the remaining ten, both Yapu Teacher and I are looking forward to them.
The teacher said that all previous Underworld Beasts, regardless of their level, were extremely violent and cruel in nature. After being suppressed by many strong individuals, they were ultimately forced to be sealed in ice here. However, these Underworld Beasts in my hands seem to have much less Killing Intent, and their Intelligence and emotions are higher than before.
In fact, when it comes to credit for this progress, Little Pink has contributed significantly. She seems to enjoy her role as leader and communicates smoothly with the Underworld Beasts. Now, Little Pink is much stronger than me; she has reached level six and her true form as a Phoenix Butterfly is fully revealed. During practical training with Yapu Teacher, Little Pink can reach up to 30 meters in size; her body is a mix of gold and red colors with green eyes. Upon closer inspection, her entire body is covered with extremely fine black patterns that are quite similar to the black patterns on my inner core. This little one has mutated again due to my clone and possesses terrifying strength.
"Little Pink, come here." As soon as I finished speaking, Little Pink instantly shrank dozens of times down to a normal butterfly size and quietly perched on my shoulder.
"You just know how to act cute around me." Just moments ago I saw her teasing those low-level Nether Beasts.
"Master, don't blame me; it's those big fools who look too ugly. I told them how to become beautiful." With that, the Underworld Beasts were indeed different from the magical beasts; they had no physical form and were entirely born from Nether Energy, all grayish-black and oddly shaped. However, they could change their shapes at will, so Little Pink took the opportunity to direct them to modify this and that. The not-so-intelligent Underworld Beasts never resented Little Pink and seemed quite willing to play along with her antics. After all, they were like newborns, and from the moment they were born, we were there with them, especially Little Pink. Being beasts, they naturally felt close to her.
"Girl, come here quickly! The Advanced Nether Beast's egg is starting to show signs of movement!" Yapu Teacher excitedly called me over. It was indeed thrilling; it had been thirty years since the successful hatching of the Intermediate Nether Beast. The time since I made a pact with Silver Moon and the others for fifty years had long passed. If calculated by time, they should have already unified the dragon race. It had been so long since I returned; they must be anxious.
"Crack, crack." One egg after another began to break open. The Low-Level Nether Beasts were gray, the Intermediate Nether Beasts were grayish-black, and the Advanced Nether Beasts were pure black. Watching them take shape meant I was not far from leaving this place. I clenched my fists in excitement, feeling my body tremble.
Strangely, six eggs remained unbroken. Why was that?
"It seems these six Underworld Beasts did not successfully transform and died inside," Yapu Teacher sighed.
"What? Can Underworld Beasts die too? Aren't they born from Nether Energy? If I'm fine, won't they be unharmed?"
"If I'm not mistaken, these six Underworld Beasts should surpass the Advanced Nether Beast in level; they are extremely rare and precious beings. They require too much Nether Energy for nourishment, and your own Nether Energy is insufficient to sustain them. What a pity. Don't blame yourself, Xi Meng; your current cultivation speed is already remarkable."
...So it was because of me. During this time, my cultivation had advanced rapidly in Mihong; my current Nether Energy avatar could already rival the Lord of the Underworld in strength. I thought I was doing well, but it seemed that wasn't enough.
"All Underworld Beasts, form up. Holy Circle." This formation was basic and primarily served a protective function to encircle opponents. Each formation could choose its number of participants; when I said all, I wanted everyone to send off those five Underworld Beasts together. Regardless of whether they remembered or not, they had once fought alongside us as partners.
"I'm sorry." I picked up the Horn Flute and played a piece called Grieving Soul as a final farewell for them.
The red light emitted by the Holy Circle blended perfectly with the deep tones of the Horn Flute. This fusion was different from every practice before. Yapu nodded in satisfaction while watching the silhouette of the girl before him. The aura emanating from her Nether Energy carried a sense of divinity; should one say she was lucky or gifted? These two opposing energies surprisingly did not repel each other but seemed to show signs of merging.
I didn't know how long I played; memories of my companions along this journey came flooding back—every battle, every collaboration. Yes, they were all waiting for me.
