Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 89 - Bad Hunch

There was a hint of loneliness that Yao Han felt after Shenghao and Honghao were no longer with him. Their togetherness was not too long, but the experience of traveling with the two was quite memorable, although in fact if they were more researched the two of them just accompanied Yao Han on a trip to Flower Hill City.

"Mr Yao, after this what do you want to do?" Bolang asked when he saw his master was silent as if daydreaming.

"Hm? I don't know.for now I want to relax for a moment. Maybe after that I'll think about my next plan..." Yao Han replied casually, "Ah, I want to show you something."

Yao Han touched his forehead, right on the thin red striped part, then a small blood red pagoda appeared in his hand.

Looking at that thing, Bolang held his breath for a moment. He did not feel any strange aura on the pagoda, but he felt a little afraid of the thing that could obliterate spirit beasts with the power of the Core Realm like Yelang in the blink of an eye.

"This thing is actually the entrance to the Pocket Dimension."

Bolang frowned, trying to digest Yao Han's sentence, but he found it awkward.

"If that thing was the entrance of the Pocket Dimension, then what happened to Yelang? Doesn't that mean you just locked her up in that dimension? Then he's alive?"

"No, he's been killed. My master killed him in the Dimension of this Pagoda."

"What max-"

Bolang's sentence came to a halt when he saw two balls of light of different colors, golden red and jade green, emerge from the small pagoda in Yao Han's hand. The two balls of light floated for a moment before stopping on the two right and left sides of Yao Han then revealing their true form.

A ball of golden red light perched on Yao Han's right shoulder formed the form of a red bird with golden red flame guts all over his body, while a ball of jade green light formed the figure of a snake.

If Meirong appeared in the form of a small phoenix, Yutian appeared in the form of a five-meter-long jade snake, surprising Yao Han a little.

Bolang was stunned by the appearance of the Phoenix, but having seen it before, he was not too surprised. Unlike when he saw Yutian in the form of a spirit animal, Bolang's body trembled slowly.

"U-Snake Jade Sky Ruler!" yells stuck. Bolang did not expect himself to meet two types of high-level spirit beasts at the same time.

Moreover, as he remembered, the jade snake that became another form of Yutian was not just a spirit beast but also a Dao Beast that could only appear if cultivators summoned him through the blood seal.

Bolang's confusion mixed with his admiration for Yao Han who turned out to have 'conquered' two high-level spirit beasts at once and made both of them his followers, but Bolang misunderstood his thoughts.

"Bolang, you're my follower, so I'll be open to you. Introductions, they are my second and third teachers..."

Yao Han mentioned the real names of his two teachers to Bolang, his meeting with the two, then the outline of the pagoda heirloom that originally belonged to Chen Long and was 'bequeathed' to him by Feng Xian.

"Because of one incident, my two teachers ended up being like this..."

Bolang was silent for quite a while while digesting Yao Han's sentence. He was still in disbelief and was too shocked when he realized Meirong and Yutian had the same cultivation level as him, namely the Core Realm, but the Qi radiance were both much stronger and purer than his.

Upon realizing the type of core within Meirong and Yutian's bodies, Bolang suddenly smiled awkwardly, "High-tier spirit beasts and Golden Core, but only this time knew it directly."

"You do see them as spirit animals, but they are my teachers."

"This is the first time I've heard of a cultivator studying on a spirit beast. Even the members of the Clever Fearing Sect are nothing like you, Mister Yao."

Right after Bolang finished speaking, Meirong and Yutian's bodies shone and their human forms appeared. Bolang's mouth was wide open, surprised to see Meirong and Yutian in human form have amazing physical beauty, especially Meirong.

"Teacher Hong..." Yao Han hugged the warm Meirong beside his right, making Yutian feel it was because his disciple had never been spoiled towards him. Although he had to admit, it was also strange that Yao Han behaved like that to his fellow men.

Yao Han was acting spoiled for two things. First, the scent of Meirong's fragrant body made Yao Han feel at home nearby and hugged her. Second, Yao Han already regarded Meirong as a mother she had never had before.

"Unlike you who were born as spirit animals, we became like this because we were struck by golden lightning..."

Yutian suddenly explained to Bolang who was fixated on seeing Yao Han's attitude towards Meirong. He unconsciously opened his heart. Yutian slightly bemoaned his fate of being a spirit animal, but at least that incident made him come to terms with Meirong and met Yao Han who ended up being their disciple together.

Yao Han then took Bolang to the Dimension of the Pagoda and explained that in the future, Bolang would stay in it with his two teachers. Yao Han also explained the workings of the Pagoda Dimension.

"Basically this heirloom of yours is not scary, Mr. Yao, but the occupants within it..." Bolang melirk towards Meirong and Yutian.

"In addition to my two teachers, you can help me deal with an enemy I find difficult to face."

"You take it easy, Mr. Yao. As your follower, I will try my best."

"Hmm, for now focus on improving your practice. Soon, you and my two teachers will reach the top of the Core Realm. Then within a year will reach the Soul Realm.

Yao Han's message was not just for Bolang but indirectly for himself. It was in his mind to reach the eighteen level Basic Realm within a week, but it could have harmed his body since it was only a while ago that Yao Han upgraded his five spirit root practice to the seventeen level Basic Realm.

Because of this, Yao Han planned to undergo other exercises, such as body forging exercises, swords, or bare-handed martial arts that he hadn't lived long enough since he was on his way.

"Teacher Hong, is there anything that bothers Master's mind?" yao Han asked who saw the look on Meirong's beautiful face slightly different.

Meirong explained himself unthinkable with the Young Cultivator Meeting that was soon being held in Jade Treasure City. Meirong could hear all of Wu San's explanations and it shocked him.

For some reason in his heart came a bad feeling related to this meeting. Meeting fellow cultivators of the white stream was common and everyone knew of this tradition. But if the neutral flow also participates in the meeting, it can cause turmoil.

This meeting could make the black party misunderstand. It was not impossible that there would be a prejudice that the great white and neutral sects made alliances to exterminate the black stream.

"I hope my hunch is wrong or doesn't happen."

Meirong could not help but worry if his premonition was right. Turmoil might be possible, but he did not expect it would trigger another cultivator war that was even greater than the war that had ever taken place.
