Chapter 31: Kirin Joins the Gang
"If you want to achieve the peak human immortal realm, it is dozens of times more difficult for you divine beasts to break through than for humans. After all, humans are born with acupoints in their bodies, but you divine beasts do not have them. You need to imitate the human body to create acupoints in your body before you can break through to the peak human immortal realm."

"Although the lifespan of a divine beast is longer than that of an ordinary human, it is not infinite. After five thousand years of wear and tear, I'm afraid you don't have many years left."

After Ye Tianming finished speaking, he sent a tempting voice to the Qilin Holy Beast, saying: "How about this, do you want to join us and practice with us? I have the second half of the Tathagata Sutra in my hand for you to practice with, and I have already grasped the whereabouts of the general outline of the Tathagata Sutra, so you can go and look for it at any time."

"You know the potential of the divine stone spirit fetus. When I reach the realm of shattering the vacuum, I will personally transform your Qilin body into a human body, so that you can have the same acupoints as a human body, so that you can break through the realm and prolong your life."

"The most important thing is, if you meet the person in the Holy Emperor's prophecy, you can leave us at any time and follow him. We will never come out. How about that?"

After saying that, Ye Tianming showed the lower half of the Tathagata Sutra to the sacred Qilin to demonstrate his sincerity.

The sacred beast Qilin was moved by Ye Tianming's words. It looked at Ye Tianming, then looked at Hong Yi who was standing next to him and had a hint of sage aura. After thinking for a moment, it finally nodded and agreed.

The group was extremely surprised to see the sacred Qilin joining their side, especially Hong Yi, a well-read guy, who couldn't help but step forward to discuss the books of sages and Confucianism and Taoism with the sacred Qilin.

A smile also appeared on Ye Tianming's face. The role of the sacred beast Qilin to Ye Tianming now is more than just an additional powerful helper.

The sacred beast Qilin is a national auspicious sign in the universe. It accompanies the holy emperor or sage, symbolizing the ancient holy emperor and saint.
The function of Qilin is the same as that of the imperial seal. If one of the dragon fish that Ye Tianming released among the Qinglian Emperor's soldiers and absorbed the Qing Emperor's evil spirit could transform into a real dragon, he would be even happier.

With the real dragon and the unicorn in his hands, even if Ye Tianming establishes a country in a random place, a large number of people, Taoist and martial arts masters will follow him and compete with the current Daqian Dynasty.

Whether it is collecting incense and faith or doing something that affects the torrent of humanity, it is a thousand times easier. Even if Ye Tianming claims to be the reincarnation of the ancient holy emperor, there are still a large number of people who believe him.

As for whether the sacred beast Qilin would leave after the appearance of Saint Emperor Ji's successor, Ye Tianming had never worried about this issue at all.

With Hong Yi, the future sage, around, even if Fang Yuan appears in the future, holding the Wuji Dragon Ring to look for the sacred Qilin, the sacred Qilin will not leave Hong Yi to follow Fang Yuan.

……

"In that case, let's leave here first. How about going to Ziyue's place? Hong Yi, do you want to come with us?" Ye Tianming asked Hong Yi.

Ye Tianming remembered that Hong Yi still had to take the imperial examination to restore the status of Meng Bingyun, the former Saint of the Supreme Taoism. The others didn't have any troubles and could go wherever they wanted.

"I have no objection. There are still more than five months before the imperial examination. I can travel around and gain some experience first."

After all the things he had seen and heard in the past few days, Hong Yi was no longer the humble bastard in the Wuhou Mansion. His awe of the imperial power and patriarchal authority had also dissipated a lot.

All kinds of worldly matters no longer occupy an important position in Hong Yi's heart. If he did not have to clear his mother's name, he might even not take part in the imperial examination.

Seeing that Hong Yi had no objection, Ye Tianming said, "In that case, let's go to Ziyue first. I remember there seems to be a guy there who has survived several thunder tribulations. We can use his thoughts to enhance your magic power."

"I'm sorry, I have to put you in a difficult position. After all, you know what kind of sensation your identity will cause, so you can't appear in front of the world for the time being." Ye Tianming said to the Qilin Holy Beast, and then a bright mandala flower bloomed under the Qilin Holy Beast, wrapping the Qilin Holy Beast in it, and temporarily sealing it up. The Qilin Holy Beast did not resist at all, allowing Ye Tianming to seal it in the mandala flower. After all, it also knew what consequences the Qilin identity would cause.

Once it appears in the secular world, the fate that awaits it will be endless hunting. Various ambitious emperors want to subdue the sacred beast Qilin to increase their own prestige and fulfill their own ambitions.

Although Ye Tianming now has magical powers comparable to those of the Creator and is fully capable of protecting the sacred Qilin beast, he still does not want to be watched all the time by anyone who wants to get the sacred Qilin beast from him.

……

Yuantu Kingdom, Taijing City.

Taijing City is the imperial capital of the Yuantu Kingdom. The population in the city reaches over one million. The layout of the imperial palace in the city is the same as that of the Daqian Palace, and it was obviously modeled after the imperial palace of the Dachao Dynasty.

Although Taijing City is smaller than Yujing City, it still occupies an area of ​​dozens of miles. Behind it is an endless snow-capped mountain, and next to the city is a wide river called Xuanbing River.

There was a long string of icicles under the eaves of every house, the streets were filled with the aroma of wine, and warriors in fur coats walked back and forth, patrolling the entire city.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the sky that even the thunder and ghost immortals could not detect, and then it entered a mansion covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres. The plaque in front of the mansion read "Xiaoyao Mansion".

Duke Xiaoyao was the title that Bai Ziyue obtained from the Yuantu Kingdom after he split from the Bai Family. He established a force on his own and it looked quite powerful, but in fact it was just a title for retirement and he was not valued by the Emperor at all.

It can be seen from the name that Emperor Yuantu hopes that Bai Ziyue can be an idle duke and not interfere in the state affairs of Yuantu.

In the vast universe, if a person becomes a duke in the court, the emperor will no longer use him, because there is an unwritten rule in the dynasties of the vast universe.

Because if the Duke made another great contribution, would the Emperor want to make him a king of a different surname? How could the Emperor do that?

But if he is not to be named a king of a different surname, then what kind of reward should he be given?

Because of this, the backbones of the Daqian Dynasty were Marquis Wuwen, Marquis Guanjun and others, rather than the Duke.

……

Bai Ziyue and others appeared in Xiaoyao Mansion, but their appearance did not alarm anyone. None of the maids in the mansion saw them and they continued to take care of the mansion.

However, Ye Tianming did not appear in Xiaoyao Mansion. Instead, he used his magic power to open up a small world in the void above Xiaoyao Mansion to store the Qilin. At the same time, he created a place for himself to retreat to complete the nine transformations of the other shore realm.
