Chapter 534: Chapter 494: Riot in the Depths of the Qianren Mountain Range

The Feather Boat was fast, but danger arrived sooner than they had expected.

"Xinlan, you go!" Sensing the approaching danger, the Celestial Feather Ancestor didn’t waste any words, giving a direct order to Wu Xinlan.

Wu Xinlan silently flew forward and hovered in midair. Before her, the light of a Summoning Array began to glow.

The deep purple glow of the Array revealed her Power Level: the terrifying Saint Spirit Level.

Li Qian recognized the Pet Beast Wu Xinlan summoned. It was a Plasma Throne that had broken through its Racial Potential Limit.

But as Li Qian watched, he soon noticed something different. This wasn’t just a case of it breaking its Racial Potential Limit.

It had actually mutated. It was noticeably larger than the one Li Qian had seen during the attack on Zhonghai City.

Moreover, its plumage was different; its blue-purple feathers were streaked with gold in patterns that resembled lightning.

"Great-Grandma’s Talent is the ’Reversed Feather,’" Wu You explained. "Whenever she forms a contract with a Flying Pet Beast, there’s a good chance it will cause them to mutate and evolve."

Li Qian was slightly taken aback by her explanation.

’He had never imagined such a bizarre Beast Taming Talent could exist.’

The Feather Boat sped onward, quickly leaving You Dongshu and Wu Xinlan far behind.

"They’ll be okay staying behind to cover our retreat, won’t they?" Li Qian asked, watching the two figures shrink in the distance, a note of worry in his voice.

"Don’t worry. The Ancestor is watching. If there’s any real danger, he’ll step in," Wu You said, shaking her head.

Then, she shot a glare at Li Qian. "And don’t call my Great-Grandma ’Grandma.’ You’re demoting me by a generation for no reason."

Li Qian couldn’t help but smile at her words. He hadn’t even realized what he’d said, but thinking back, he had indeed gotten one over on Wu You.

About three minutes later, the Feather Boat finally came to a stop, landing smoothly inside Forgetful Village.

After dropping everyone off, the Feather Boat took to the air again and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Not long after the Feather Boat disappeared, a series of terrifying explosions echoed from the direction of the Qianren Mountain Range.

For the sound to be so clear and sharp from such a great distance was proof enough of how terrifying the battle in the Qianren Mountain Range must be.

And so, as Li Qian watched with concern, another three minutes or so passed before the Feather Boat returned, approaching from the distance.

Li Qian looked at the three people on the Feather Boat. The Celestial Feather Ancestor’s expression was calm, and he seemed completely unscathed. However, both You Dongshu and Wu Xinlan were a bit banged up.

It was clear their injuries weren’t serious, though.

Seeing the three of them return safely and without any major incidents, Li Qian let out a long sigh of relief.

"Lao Qi, Kubo, you two stay here in case anything unexpected happens," the Celestial Feather Ancestor instructed. "Also, notify all members of the Wing Race who are out training to return at once."

"Ancestor, is the situation that serious?" the Wing Race elder called Lao Qi immediately asked.

His expression was grave.

"At first, I thought these beasts had merely sensed the stirrings of the evolution and were growing restless," the Celestial Feather Ancestor said. "But now it seems that’s not the case."

"We actually walked right into the line of fire," he continued to explain. "It seems something has gone wrong with the Dimensional Rift inside the Qianren Mountain Range. A large number of Extraordinary Creatures are on a rampage."

"I estimate this rampage will last for at least several days before it subsides. During this period, there’s a high probability that even High-level Pet Beasts will appear in the outer regions of the Qianren Mountain Range."

The Celestial Feather Ancestor voiced his concern. "I’m worried our clan members who are out training might be in danger."

"Understood. I’ll go notify them right away." After hearing the Celestial Feather Ancestor’s explanation, Lao Qi immediately agreed and sprang into action.

With lives on the line—and the lives of the Wing Race’s younger generation, at that—he had no choice but to treat the matter with the utmost seriousness.

As they watched the Wing Race elders spring into action, with even the Celestial Feather Ancestor disappearing from sight, Li Qian and Wu You looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Their Great-Grandma, Wu Xinlan, saw their confusion and instructed, "Since the evolution is complete, there’s no point in you two staying here any longer. It’s better if you head back early, so you don’t worry the ones waiting for you."

The ones she was referring to were, without a doubt, Wu You’s parents and siblings.

And so, led by their Great-Grandma Wu Xinlan, the two of them arrived at a small square in the center of Forgetful Village.

There, a pitch-black Dimensional Rift stood silently, emanating a bizarre aura.

Li Qian and Wu You didn’t hesitate. After exchanging a few brief words of farewell, they stepped into the Dimensional Rift.

With a flicker of light and shadow, they appeared in another location in the blink of an eye.

It was the same clearing they had seen when they first arrived. Back then, the area had been shrouded in a gray fog, obscuring everything from view.

Now, however, a Light Gate stood at the edge of the clearing.

Wasting no time, Wu You took Li Qian by the hand and walked straight into the Light Gate.

Light and shadow flickered once more, and the two of them appeared inside a palace.

"This is the rear hall of the Ancestral Temple," Wu You, who was very familiar with the palace, immediately explained.

They didn’t linger in the rear hall. They pushed open its doors, entered a corridor, walked about a hundred paces, and pushed open another wooden door at the far end, emerging into a place Li Qian recognized.

It was the rear chamber where he had studied the stone murals.

Li Qian was very familiar with this place; after all, he had spent a total of three days here.

Passing through the rear chamber and into the main hall, Li Qian saw the old temple keeper, Grandpa He, meditating with his eyes closed, still as a stone statue.

Li Qian was about to greet him, but Wu You, who was beside him, stopped him.

The two of them walked quietly out of the main hall, careful not to disturb Grandpa He. Once outside, Wu You said, "Grandpa He is cultivating his Zen Skill. He hates being disturbed at times like this."

Li Qian nodded in understanding.

He made a mental note of it, though he figured it wasn’t particularly important. ’It’s not like our paths will ever cross again,’ he thought.

The two of them left the main hall, walked past the stone steps out front, and met up with Wu Yue and You Xingkai.

Seeing the changes in Wu You and sensing the leap her very being had taken, their faces all lit up with excitement.

Wu You’s sister was the first to walk up, her eyes wide as she looked her over. "Little Youyou, you actually completed your evolution!"

Although it was phrased as a question, the brilliant light in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.

"Mhm!" Wu You nodded in response.

Hearing Wu You’s confirmation, Wu Yue and the others grew even more ecstatic, looking like they were about to start jumping for joy on the spot. The atmosphere became incredibly cheerful.

Wu You’s brother even started clamoring about throwing a banquet for her that very night to celebrate the completion of her evolution.
