I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter said coldly.

At Horizontal Peak Mountain, Tian Shiqi sat at the head of the grand hall.

A figure walked in, with a mask on their face, on which seven leaves were engraved.

"My lord, I have returned!"

The comer bowed respectfully.

Tian Shiqi nodded. Although he wore a Seven-Leaf mask, his status was far from comparable to that of a Seven-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter; he was here in Nine Mountain Realm's Horizontal Peak Mountain only as a temporary replacement to preside over it.

He had another purpose for coming, which was for the Wind Spirit Tiger.

"How did it go?"

Tian Shiqi asked in a deep voice.

"Replying to my lord, everything went smoothly. The Netherworld and the Witches have all reached an understanding; the chaos in the Divine Realm can now begin," replied the person.

By the end of the sentence, the Seven-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.

"Very good!"

Tian Shiqi nodded.

"My lord, Five-Leaf intends to take some actions..."

He relayed Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter's arrangement.

Tian Shiqi nodded and said, "The time has come. If you want to proceed, then proceed. I'm not afraid of revealing the name Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow. It is about time for Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow to appear in this world."

"Yes, my lord!"

The Seven-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter was visibly excited.

"Continue to preside over this area."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Tian Shiqi gave his orders, he stepped forward and vanished in an instant.

To Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, Tian Shiqi came.

"He has arrived!"

The Wind Spirit Tiger sat on a dazzling golden throne, its neck adorned with a large gold chain and thirty-six jewels shining brightly, exuding the temperament of a nouveau riche.

Tian Shiqi was stunned.

He blinked, looked back, and surveyed his surroundings again. This place was Spiritual Sovereign Mountain, where the Wind Spirit Tiger resided.

He hadn't gone to the wrong place.

"Are you the Wind Spirit Tiger?" Tian Shiqi asked in astonishment.

It hadn't been that long since the last time he saw the Wind Spirit Tiger, lying on the ground as a mighty Spirit Beast.

And now, upon seeing it again, the entire tiger had changed; it wasn't just sitting on the dazzling golden throne but also wore a large gold chain.

What was even more outrageous was that it held a Tiger Head Gold Staff in its paw.

It looked both like a nouveau riche and significantly more dignified.

Thud!

With a bang, the gold staff in the Wind Spirit Tiger's hand struck the ground, and the whole earth quivered, as it said with an imposing air, "Tian Shiqi, how come you lack such manners? You should address me as His Excellency the Wind Spirit King!"

Shit!

Tian Shiqi felt troubled, looking at the Wind Spirit Tiger skeptically and wondering if the tiger had gone mad from working too hard on breaking through its bloodline shackles.

The Wind Spirit Tiger tapped the ground with its golden staff, a look of disappointment on its face, and said, "How come you, like the master of the Spiritual Sovereign Gate, have no understanding of etiquette?

"Never mind, considering our acquaintance, I will gift you a book on etiquette.

With a wave of its paw, the Wind Spirit Tiger summoned a Spirit Beast attendant, who immediately presented a small booklet to Tian Shiqi.

Tian Shiqi felt like exploding with anger. Was he being looked down upon by a Spirit Beast for not understanding etiquette?

If it weren't for the Wind Spirit Tiger's formidable strength, he would hardly be able to resist slapping the Spirit Beast that brought the booklet to death.

"No need!"

The expression under Tian Shiqi's mask was exceedingly ugly.

The Wind Spirit Tiger shook its head with a sigh, "Tian Shiqi, you do not appreciate kindness. This will lead to trouble eventually..."

Shit!

Tian Shiqi twitched at the corner of his mouth; after some time apart, how had the Wind Spirit Tiger become such a nag?

"Wind..."

Just as he was about to interrupt the Wind Spirit Tiger's nagging and get straight to the reason for his visit, he saw a Splendid Ferocious Tiger with a long sword slung around its waist, walking on two legs toward them.

"Big brother, do we have a guest?"

Red Cat rushed over as soon as he heard the commotion.

Guests of the Wind Spirit Tiger were naturally powerful beings from the Immortal Heavenly Venerable rank, and certainly deserved an audience.

"Younger brother has arrived, this is Tian Shiqi, you've seen him a few times…" said the Wind Spirit Tiger with a smiling face.

Ever since his younger brother Red Cat arrived, he, the Spirit Beast King, had truly begun to live a life befitting his title, fully demonstrating the regal dignity of the Wind Spirit King.

Red Cat sized up Tian Shiqi, thinking that this guy definitely didn't look like a good person.

Tian Shiqi also sized up Red Cat, wondering about the origin of this spirit tiger. Could the changes in the Wind Spirit Tiger be related to it?

"Wind Spirit King, have you made your decision?" Tian Shiqi asked directly.

"I have thought it through," replied the Wind Spirit Tiger. "What are the benefits? What are the perks? You can't just feed me empty promises, you need to present tangible benefits, actual advantages.

"Otherwise, would I not become a mere errand runner for you?" the Wind Spirit Tiger said with a serious expression.

Red Cat listened silently, starting to calculate in his mind. This Tian Shiqi had obviously come to propose some venture to Wind Spirit Tiger, and it was quite apparent that the latter was tempted, entertaining thoughts of cooperation.

However, because of the new concepts instilled in him by Red Cat in the recent days, his attitude had evolved. He didn't agree to the proposition outright but instead started to weigh the pros and cons.

Tian Shiqi's gaze sharpened as he looked towards the spirit beasts serving by the Wind Spirit Tiger's side but said nothing more.

With a wave of his paw, the Wind Spirit Tiger dismissed the attending spirit beasts, who then left the ancient forest.

Tian Shiqi turned his gaze to Red Cat.

"My younger brother is my confidant and can represent me, the Wind Spirit King. There are no secrets here that he should not be privy to," said the Wind Spirit Tiger in a deep voice.

Tian Shiqi nodded and spoke, "As I have said, the Divine Realm is in turmoil, the Unity of Domain is upon us. You, Wind Spirit Tiger, can also advance further, breaking free from the shackles of your bloodline. This is a real benefit.

"All you need to do is to cause a bit of chaos in the situation or eliminate a few individuals. With the strength of you, the Wind Spirit King, there is no risk to speak of; the benefits far outweigh the potential drawbacks."

Seeing that the Wind Spirit Tiger was pondering, Tian Shiqi pressed further, "Without the Unity of Domain, you will never be able to advance further. But once it occurs, you will progress and become the true king of spirit beasts, with all of them heeding your command..."

The Wind Spirit Tiger's eyes flickered, seemingly tempted.

Red Cat remained expressionless but secretly transmitted a message to the Wind Spirit Tiger.

"Big brother, don't be fooled. This guy is up to no good," Red Cat cautioned. "Leaving aside whether the Domain unification can succeed, even if it eventually does, the biggest beneficiary will certainly not be you.

"Moreover, with his strength alone, how can he ensure success against someone as formidable as you?

"Furthermore, once you make a move, you will inevitably offend many powerful beings. Although you are not afraid, should this guy fail, he can shove all blame onto you. If you face an onslaught from powerful foes, even you, with all your strength, will struggle to resist.

"As for breaking the bloodline shackles, you are already immortal. The consequences will be dire if you fail.

"Make him reveal some details—why is he so certain of success? Also, demand some tangible treasures in exchange. You can't let him get away with mere words..."

The Wind Spirit Tiger held absolute trust in Red Cat. The more he listened, the more sense it made.

"Tian Shiqi, share some details of your organization. If we are to collaborate, there should be no secrets or concealment. Also, I need to see your strength, your actions, and the outcomes of your actions.

"Otherwise, if you're too weak and I naively join in, wouldn't I end up being a mere pawn?

"Cooperation must have stipulations. If I take action, what compensation will you offer me? Don't just talk about benefits after the unification of the Domain and breaking my bloodline shackles.

"Whether the Domain unification is even feasible remains uncertain. Even if it does happen, surely I won't be the only one capable of shattering the bloodline fetters?

"Hence, tangible rewards are essential!" exclaimed the Wind Spirit Tiger.

Tian Shiqi was visibly surprised. Since when had the Wind Spirit Tiger become so shrewd?

He glanced subconsciously at the Splendid Tiger.

"Hmph! Tian Shiqi, I was merely hiding my astuteness earlier. Did you really think I've lived these long years without being able to see through your intentions?" the Wind Spirit Tiger said with a cold snort.

Of course, he couldn't admit to having been naive before!

Tian Shiqi thought about it and found some logic in it. The Wind Spirit Tiger, a formidable being and one of the twelve Spirit Beast Kings, couldn't possibly be truly simple-minded.

"We are Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, with strength that speaks for itself. Without any exaggeration, we regard the power of the entire Nine Mountain Realm with indifference.

"Since you, the Wind Spirit Tiger, wish to witness the power of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, then watch as my organization launches its operations..." Tian Shiqi revealed some hints about the forthcoming actions of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.
