Chapter 419 -256: Return to the Sect
Upon returning to the Beishu Continent from the sea, a small invisible snake had appeared on Li Shiming’s finger, the very “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” that had signed a contract with him.
The “Nine Shao Insect Scripture” held the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” in high esteem, partly because its combat power was incredibly strong, especially in surprise attacks where those of the same rank could hardly resist, and partly because of the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake”‘s loyalty.
Looking at the space left by the Five Qi Sect, to guard its master’s remains, even though the master had dissolved the contract with the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake,” the snake had still never left its master’s remains until its death.
This shows the loyalty of the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake;” even after the death of that huge “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake,” it passed down this guarding consciousness through inheritance, allowing generation after generation of “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” to continue guarding their master’s remains.
Li Shiming did not dislike the cold and slippery feeling from the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” on his finger, because the sense of dependency that came from the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” brought him great joy.
This was his first real spirit beast, and his doppelgänger Li Yuanba seemed to be his extension. Though he also had twelve Iron Corpses, the spiritual intelligence of the Iron Corpses focused solely on battle instincts, and besides, one couldn’t expect any affectionate interaction with a refined corpse!
The “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” had become his companion, and with the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake”‘s lifespan, perhaps this companionship would last a lifetime.
The food for the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” was a problem; many ingredients for the diet of spiritual beasts mentioned in the ancient “Nine Shao Insect Scripture” had been lost over time.
However, spiritual beasts possess a natural instinct for feeding. Li Shiming tried giving the “Absolute Spirit Illusion Snake” some of his spiritual objects to choose from, and the snake picked a Spirit Pill.
