Chapter 1799  Heavenly Beast Sect(5)

After traveling for half an hour, they arrived at their next destination.

Hong Ling made the flying treasure descend before saying to the others, "You can follow me."

Lan Yingying and the other two followed Hong Ling into the large square building that only had a single floor before them.

"Greetings, Senior Hong."

The guards standing by the entrance greeted with lowered heads as they opened the door for them.

"Good work," she said to them.

The interior of the building was stark and empty, its design emphasizing functionality over aesthetics. The walls were crafted from a durable metal commonly used in the creation of treasures, giving the space an aura of resilience and strength. Additionally, several intricate formations were embedded into the walls and floor, their faint glow indicating their activation.

"Hm? If it isn't Senior Hong. What brought you here today?" A sect elder there noticed her and asked.

"I'm here as a tour guide, and I want to let them watch the ritual. There's one happening soon, correct?"

"Yes, and you're just in time. We're currently waiting for the magical beast to be brought in, which should only take a few more minutes," said the sect elder.

Standing by the sect elder was a young male disciple, clearly eager to be there.

"It's an honor to have my ritual witnessed by Senior Hong." The disciple bowed.

Hong Ling acknowledged him with a silent nod before turning to Feng Yuxiang and the others.

"During the ritual, the disciple must fight the magical beast and earn its acknowledgment," Hong Ling explained.

"Most magical beasts that lack the capability to speak or think like us must be defeated in battle to earn their acknowledgment," she continued. "It's a way of proving one's strength and qualifications to the beast. Of course, there are rare cases where a magical beast willingly forms a contract without needing to be dominated, but such instances are exceedingly rare and almost unheard of."

"Also, even if the disciple defeats the magical beast, it doesn't guarantee the beast would acknowledge the disciple as its master. With that being said, we have a very high success rate of around 95 percent. If the magical beast rejects the disciple, we will simply find another one for him, and every disciple will be given three chances."

About ten minutes later, a magical beast was led into the building.

It was an Earth-Shattering Ape, a formidable and rare magical beast renowned for its immense strength and robust physique. With a height of 4 meters, its muscular frame radiated power, and its deep, glowing eyes scanned the room with a mix of curiosity and wariness.

Feng Yuxiang and the others had to move to a separate area before the Earth-Shattering Ape arrived because of their bloodline, and they were currently watching everything behind a glass wall in a sealed spectator's room, ensuring that the ritual couldn't be disturbed in any manner.

"The ritual will begin once I remove its shackles," the sect elder said to the disciple, who nodded with a nervous smile on his face.

A few moments later, the shackles were removed from the Earth-Shattering Ape. Yet, it didn't immediately move and turned to look at the sect elder.

Seeing this, the sect elder turned to the disciple and pointed at him. "Is he worthy to be your master? Go find out," she said firmly.

As if it understood her words, the Earth-Shattering Ape nodded slightly before locking its gaze on the disciple. Without hesitation, the beast leaped toward him, its robust frame cutting through the air with incredible force.

The ritual had officially begun.

The disciple immediately poured every ounce of his strength and focus into the battle, determined to prove himself worthy. He fought the Earth-Shattering Ape with the intensity of a life-or-death struggle, dodging its crushing blows and counterattacking with his own martial techniques. Despite the fierce exchange, the disciple carefully avoided striking the beast's vitals to avoid killing it by accident.

The battle raged on for nearly three grueling hours, each moment filled with thunderous blows that would've destroyed the building if it weren't for the reinforced walls and formations. The Earth-Shattering Ape, with its immense strength and durability, proved to be a challenging opponent for the disciple, a young genius with a cultivation at the peak of Spirit Enlightenment.

But as time wore on, the beast began to falter. Its once-commanding presence started to waver, and its silver fur became matted with sweat and stained with its own blood. Finally, with a resounding thud, the ape fell to its knees, its breathing ragged and heavy.

Despite its exhaustion and injuries, the beast's eyes still glimmered with a sense of pride and acknowledgment, as though it had tested the disciple and found him worthy. The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension and awe as the disciple, equally battered but unyielding, stood before the beast, awaiting the final sign of submission.

After a moment of heavy silence, the Earth-Shattering Ape lowered its massive head, a clear sign of acknowledgment. The room seemed to hold its breath as the beast extended a finger to one of its wounds, gathering a drop of its own blood.

Seeing the Earth-Shattering Ape's gesture, the disciple wasted no time. He immediately activated a unique technique, his hands glowing faintly as he infused the beast's offered blood with his own.

A wave of energy surged through the room as their blood merged, forming a mystical bond that tethered their souls together. Symbols began to appear in the air around them, shimmering briefly before vanishing into their bodies, signifying the completion of the contract.

The Earth-Shattering Ape let out a low, rumbling growl—not of defiance but of acceptance and excitement. The disciple, now connected to the beast, knelt respectfully before it, silently thanking the powerful creature for its trust. The ritual was complete, their partnership officially forged.

"So that's how magical beasts typically form a contract with humans… Mine was vastly different." Lan Yingying muttered as she recalled the moment she formed a contract with Yuan.
