Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

187. Chapter 187 Dad's Call For Help!

Chapter 187: Father's Distress Call!

Liu Zimo slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of brilliance passed through his eyes like lightning.

He glanced at the turtle, who was guarding him, and nodded with a smile, giving it an appreciative look.

"Congratulations to the master for breaking through the Spirit Realm, one step closer to the Holy Realm!"

Seeing the master wake up, the turtle hurriedly appeared in front of him and congratulated him repeatedly.

A twenty-one-year-old warrior who is proficient in both spiritual and martial realms!

Even in ancient times, this would be an extremely rare existence!

Compared to the current master, the Heavenly Daoist was far inferior when he was twenty-one years old!

At least, the Heavenly Daoist was not even in the Manifestation Realm when he was twenty-one!

"It's not just me who deserves congratulations!"

Liu Zimo chuckled and looked towards the nearby glacier, saying softly,

"Let's go and take a look at that powerful tiger!"

The reason he was able to successfully break through the Spirit Realm was all thanks to the help of the powerful tiger.

If it weren't for the tiger's breakthrough and advancement to the Spirit Realm, Liu Zimo wouldn't know how long he would have to wait for an opportunity to break through.

In terms of reason and emotion, he had to thank this newly acquired spiritual pet.

"What's there to congratulate about that powerful tiger?"

The turtle wondered to itself.

But soon, when it returned to the underwater secret realm where the powerful tiger was in seclusion with Liu Zimo, the turtle couldn't help but widen its copper bell-like eyes.

It finally understood why the master had said that it was not the only one deserving of congratulations.

Who could have imagined that while recovering from its injuries, the powerful tiger had also secretly broken through to the Spirit Realm in its cultivation!

This was too unbelievable!

In ancient times, this old tiger had struggled without any breakthroughs, and yet in this era, it suddenly had an epiphany and broke through!

In that case, could this powerful tiger also have the hope of reaching the peak and stepping into the Holy Realm?

"No wonder the old Taoist spoke so highly of this powerful tiger back then, saying that it was the most likely among all the spiritual beasts of our time to reach the Holy Realm!"

"I used to be a little unconvinced, thinking that the old Taoist had misjudged it."

"But now, I can't help but admit it!"

"Reaching the Spirit Realm, this powerful tiger has taken the most crucial step towards achieving true sanctity."

"Entering the Holy Realm in the future is just a matter of time!"

The turtle felt a bit sour in its heart and was almost overcome with envy.

It lamented its own lack of talent, unable to make progress in the path of spiritual cultivation.

Even after enduring the end of the Dharma Age, it still couldn't see an opportunity to reach the Holy Realm.

Sensing the movement outside, the powerful tiger, whose cultivation had already stabilized, suddenly opened its eyes.

Cold light radiated from its deep and icy eyes, exuding a chilling aura.

Swish!

It vigorously shook off the impurities and filth expelled from its body due to its recovery, and slowly stood up from its prone position.

The 【Soul-Subduing Bell】, which had already been refined into its lifebound spiritual weapon, quietly appeared on its forehead.

Buzz!

The bell was activated, and after a light tremor, it instantly expanded in size, enveloping the space within a dozen or so miles.

What does this powerful tiger want to do?

Although the turtle is long-lived, it couldn't help but mutter softly to itself:

[Could it be that this tiger, having just broken through the Spirit Domain, thinks it's already very powerful and wants to challenge the authority of its master, trying to free itself from the master's control?]

[This guy better not be foolish and not seek death on its own!]

[Don't forget that the master has successfully broken through to the Spirit Domain, becoming even more unfathomable in strength!]

[Even if the master hasn't broken through yet and is still at the peak of the Spirit Abyss, it is absolutely not something that the powerful tiger, who has just broken through to the Spirit Domain, can contend with!]

The longer the turtle stays by Liu Zimo's side, the more it can feel the unfathomable depth of its master.

Especially this time.

Liu Zimo directly broke through with strength, paving a new path that no one had ever broken through in the Spirit Domain before, which made the turtle look at this new master with admiration and fear.

A freak who can forcefully break through the barriers of the Spirit Domain with his own strength, forcibly raising his spiritual cultivation realm to the Spirit Domain.

His true strength is probably far beyond that of most Spirit Domain cultivators!

For Tiger Dalie to challenge the master at this time is definitely asking for trouble!

Even if it sacrifices the Soul-Subduing Bell of Anxiety, the turtle still doesn't think highly of it.

After all, it still has a strand of its divine soul origin controlled by the master. As long as the master has a thought, it can destroy its divine soul consciousness at any time!

Puff!

Just when the turtle thought that Tiger Dalie was rebelling and trying to harm the master.

It saw the giant tiger in front of it suddenly spew out blood, directly severing its connection with the Soul-Subduing Bell of Anxiety!

The turtle's heart shook.

[This guy actually voluntarily gave up this top-grade spiritual treasure!]

[Is this to show loyalty to the master?]

[It seems a bit too desperate. From beginning to end, the master never said that he wanted this Soul-Subduing Bell of Anxiety!]

Indeed.

After severing its connection with the Soul-Subduing Bell of Anxiety, Tiger Dalie knelt down in front of Liu Zimo and raised the bell above its head, saying loudly:

"Thank you, master, for saving my life. I, Dalie, have nothing to offer but this top-grade spiritual treasure. Please accept it, master!"

While kneeling, Tiger Dalie's enormous body shrank and transformed into a mini-cat-like form, looking cute and adorable.

"What's this? Are you trying to give this clock to your master?" Liu Zimo didn't immediately reach out to take the top-grade spiritual treasure, but looked at Tiger Dalie with a smile that wasn't a smile, asking softly.

"No, no, master, you see clearly, I absolutely didn't mean that!"

"Moreover, I'm offering, not giving, and I dare not give it!"

Tiger Dalie was frightened and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was wholeheartedly loyal to the master and had no ulterior motives.

[What does he mean by this? Is he deliberately teasing me?]

While Tiger Dalie defended himself, he secretly complained in his heart:

[This shouldn't be right. Was my performance just now so obvious?]

[I only thought about it briefly in my mind, I didn't actually make a move against him. How could he possibly sense it?]

[Alas, it's true that man proposes, but God disposes!]

[I thought that after breaking through to the Spirit Domain, I would be able to forcibly retrieve the strand of divine soul origin that I sacrificed before.]

[Who could have imagined that this new master would also break through to the Spirit Domain at the same time as me!]

[Fortunately, I reacted quickly just now, sensing the new master's breakthrough to the Spirit Domain for the first time, and immediately severed the connection with the Soul-Subduing Bell, and took the opportunity to offer it. Otherwise, even if I didn't die, I would have suffered greatly!]

[...]

Seeing the small tiger in front of him with a sincere and fearful expression, if Liu Zimo couldn't hear its thoughts at any time, he might have believed its evil intentions.

These ancient spirit beasts are indeed cunning, one after another!

Whether it's the long-lived turtle, the exquisite dragon, or the powerful tiger in front of him, they all have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

As their master, if you're not careful, they might calculate against you.

Liu Zimo was very clear about what he had just sensed.

At the moment when Tiger Dalie refined the Soul-Subduing Bell, the strand of divine soul origin that had been quietly staying in his sea of consciousness suddenly trembled, as if it wanted to break free from the confines and escape from Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

It was because Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness was vast and he had successfully broken through to the Spirit Realm, establishing his own domain. In an instant, he suppressed the restless divine soul origin.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have probably lost control of that strand of divine soul origin long ago, and thus lost the ability to control Tiger Dalie's life and death through the contract.

At the same time, it was also because of the spiritual aura that Liu Zimo unintentionally revealed.

This forced Tiger Dalie to fight for survival, voluntarily giving up control of the Soul-Subduing Bell to cover up his previous act of defiance.

"You should be grateful that I didn't have the slightest intention of killing you just now. Otherwise, you would already be a corpse!" Liu Zimo looked down at Tiger Dalie, who was kneeling in front of him, and warned sternly.

"In consideration of the fact that you are a first-time offender, I will give you a chance to reform. I will also accept this Soul-Subduing Bell as a punishment for your mistake."

"But there must not be a next time. Even if you reach the Transcendent Saint realm, I have plenty of ways to crush you to dust!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo's divine sense moved, and he stored the Soul-Subduing Bell floating in front of him into the Eastern Pearl in his sea of consciousness.

At the same time, he unreservedly released half of his divine soul pressure, directly enveloping and suppressing Tiger Dalie.

Boom!

Tiger Dalie, who was already kneeling on the ground, seemed to be subjected to the vertical pressure of tens of millions of tons of force.

His whole body sank instantly, completely embedded in the rocky ground beneath him.

His sea of consciousness and spiritual consciousness were also simultaneously subjected to a terrifying intimidation and impact, as if the world was being destroyed.

If it were just his divine sense on the verge of collapse, it would be fine, but his entire sea of consciousness space was almost on the verge of bursting!

Compared to the divine soul pressure released by Liu Zimo, Tiger Dalie felt like a defenseless little lamb, ready to be devoured by the big gray wolf in front of him at any moment!

[He's too strong!]

[He's not even in the same league!]

[Both of us just broke through to the Spirit Realm, why is the new master's divine soul power so terrifying and powerful?!]

[I feel like he's no different from the Carefree Ancestor when he was in his peak Spirit Realm state!]

[Facing such a freakishly powerful opponent, even without the contract of my origin in his hands, I'm completely no match for him!]

[But... this makes no sense at all!]

[Even in ancient times, there was never any mention of a cultivator at the initial stage of the Spirit Realm being so powerful as to rival the peak Spirit Realm!]

Tiger Dalie's mind trembled, burying his head in the deep pit and not daring to meet Liu Zimo's gaze.

It knew that its little schemes had all been seen through by its master.

The fact that its master didn't directly kill it was already a stroke of luck!

Heh!

Seeing Tiger Dalie in such a miserable state, Turtle Shoushou couldn't help but feel good.

As fellow ancient spirit beasts, it knew exactly what Tiger Dalie had just tried to do.

After all, it had done the same thing back then.

For this reason, it also took the opportunity to be severely beaten by its master.

Now, seeing that other spirit beasts have also suffered a great loss in this matter, and even lost a top-grade spiritual treasure, the old turtle instantly felt much more psychologically balanced.

At least, it only took a beating in the beginning and did not suffer any loss in terms of wealth.

"Alright, get up!"

Liu Zimo waved his hand and lifted Tiger Dalie out of the deep pit on the ground.

"Take these Earth Vein Spirit Springs to restore your cultivation. As long as you follow faithfully, you will not be short of benefits!"

Giving a slap and then a sweet date.

A very cliché but practical way of controlling and taming beasts.

Tiger Dalie had lived for tens of thousands of years and was naturally immune to such cliché beast-taming tricks.

However, when it saw the sweet date that Liu Zimo had given, which turned out to be a whole 5,000 kilograms of Earth Vein Spirit Springs, its attitude, which originally thought it could just casually deal with it, instantly underwent a tremendous change.

Swish!

The little tiger immediately transformed into a small puppy, drooling and quickly rushing to its new master, behaving as obediently as possible, and becoming extremely well-behaved and submissive.

There was no other way.

The master had given too much!

A full 5,000 kilograms of Earth Vein Spirit Springs, more than the total amount of Earth Vein Spirit Springs it had obtained in the past six months!

Who could resist such temptation?

This time, Tiger Dalie could see the nouveau riche nature of its new master. It was much more generous than its previous master, not just a little bit!

[Your spirit pet, Tiger Dalie, has refined 100 kilograms of 'Earth Vein Spirit Springs,' overflowing with vitality, greatly increasing its cultivation... Physical strength +300, physical defense +100, martial arts cultivation +50, vitality +200,000.]

[...]

Seeing Tiger Dalie happily and sincerely swallowing the Earth Vein Spirit Springs, there would occasionally be corresponding opportunities and benefits feedback.

Liu Zimo's mood finally became slightly happier.

Soon, Tiger Dalie completely absorbed and refined the 5,000 kilograms of Earth Vein Spirit Springs, and its spiritual power cultivation went from the beginning of the Golden Body Realm all the way to the Manifested Saint Realm!

Liu Zimo also gained a massive increase in martial arts cultivation and physical strength as a result.

Ding Ling Ling!

Ding Ling Ling!

At this moment, the spiritual energy phone that Liu Zimo had been carrying in his pocket suddenly vibrated and rang.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy satellite and spiritual energy phone made by his little uncle were so powerful that they could receive signals even in the Antarctic!

Liu Zimo casually took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

The next second, a very anxious voice came out of the microphone:

"Son, your younger brother has been kidnapped, come back and save him!"

It was the voice of his father, Liu Yi!

Hearing the anxiety and worry in his father's words, Liu Zimo's mind shook, and then an uncontrollable killing intent surged out of him.

Boom!

It startled the two spirit pets in front of him, and his figure was forced to retreat repeatedly by this substantial killing intent.

Who dares to kidnap their master's younger brother?!

Are they tired of living?!
