What big thing could happen?

However, since he had already made a decision, going back on his word now would clearly not be befitting his status as an Immortal Lord.

Lin Li could only think that he would educate Xiao Hei more in the future, and bring him back to the Righteous Path as soon as possible.

Looking at Zhong Qing, Lin Li said, “It’s not a waste of Xiao Hei’s talent to have him by your side.”

“It’s just that, as you know, Xiao Hei is a Qilin after all.”

“Although pure-blooded Qilins all have the talent of Bloodline Legacy, our Qilin Clan has existed for countless years, and we have more than just Bloodline Legacy.”

“There are many Divine Abilities and techniques exclusive to the Qilin Clan that humans neither possess nor can teach.”

“Fortunately, you and I are both in the Immortal Alliance now, not far from each other.”

“If you don’t object, I will often come to your Immortal Palace in the future to teach Xiao Hei some things.”

Someone was rushing to be Xiao Hei’s teacher, and even paying for it. How could Zhong Qing refuse such a good thing? He naturally wouldn’t object and nodded, saying, “Of course.”

At this moment, Chicken One had already climbed up from the ground, shook off the feathers that had fallen from his body, and roared.

“Brothers, let’s go together!”

Chicken Two, Duck Seven, and the other birds, who had long been annoyed with Xiao Hei, immediately rushed forward, clamoring.

“Damn it, playing this trick? Ganging up on me? Do you think Xiao Hei is afraid of you?! Qilin Might Shattering Heaven!”

Xiao Hei roared, instantly transforming into his true Qilin form. Boundless majesty erupted from his entire body. The Qilin’s might instantly condensed into a point on his horn. Along with Xiao Hei’s roar, he charged forward, instantly knocking Chicken Two to the ground.

“Hahaha, you mere weaklings, even if you all come at once, what do I, Xiao Hei, have to fear?”

Xiao Hei laughed loudly, stepping on Chicken Two.

Lin Li watched this scene, revealing a benevolent father-like smile.

“This move is one of the most commonly used and most iconic offensive Divine Abilities of our Qilin Clan. An ordinary pure-blooded Qilin would take at least ten years to master this move. Xiao Hei only took two tries to get started, which shows his extraordinary talent.”

“If this continues, it won’t be long before Xiao Hei can master all the Legacy of the Qilin Clan.”

No sooner had Lin Li finished speaking than Xiao Hei was pounced on and beaten by Ji San and the other birds, who were cawing loudly.

“Brother, I’m here to help you!”

Little Ga, seeing the unfavorable situation, rushed over to help and was then beaten along with him.

Xiao Hei struggled to knock over one or two with Qilin Might Shattering Heaven, but his four hooves were no match for a pile of chicken claws and duck feet, and he was beaten, yelping.

Lin Li: “…”

His mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, “It’s just kids playing around. Xiao Hei has only just mastered this move, so this performance is already quite good.”

Zhong Qing also nodded.

Xiao Hei and Chicken One’s cultivation Realms were the same. It was naturally too difficult to fight ten at once in the same Realm, so it was understandable. However, the fact that he could quickly go from barely holding his own in a one-on-one fight to being able to counterattack when ganged up on showed that what Lin Li taught was indeed useful.

He turned to Lin Li and said, “Since he’s Xiao Hei’s kin, he’s one of us. You can come whenever you want in the future.”

Lin Li looked at Zhong Qing’s calm eyes and felt that the tone of his words was a bit off.

Why did it sound a bit like an elder’s attitude towards a Junior?

Thinking it might be his own illusion, Lin Li didn’t take it to heart for the time being.

He said, “I have recognized Xiao Hei as the Saint of our Qilin Clan. Since you are Xiao Hei’s master, you are also considered one of our Qilin Clan.”

Lin Li seemed to have thought of something and shook his head, saying, “Our Qilin Clan is different from your Human Race. Since we are kin, it is only right to support each other and face external threats together. Unlike you humans, even among your own kind, there are countless schemes and struggles.”

Zhong Qing nodded. He couldn’t refute that.

The Human Race might be the most adept at infighting among all races.

From the First Heaven to now, he had seen far more internal conflicts and schemes among humans than dealing with external races.

“Therefore, if one day you encounter a major event and the Human Race cannot protect you, you can also bring Xiao Hei to Xuan Lin Immortal Palace to find me.”

He spoke calmly, yet his tone revealed strong confidence: “What the Human Race cannot protect, our Qilin Clan may not be unable to protect.”

Zhong Qing also smiled slightly: “In that case, thank you very much.”

However, although Lin Li said that, he didn’t really think such a situation would ever happen.

In his opinion, Zhong Qing was an Immortal Seed secretly cultivated by the Human Race, so naturally, someone would escort him. What major event could there be?

Then, the next day, a major event occurred.

No sooner had Xuan Lin Immortal Lord returned to Xuan Lin Immortal Palace than he received an urgent message from the Central Immortal Region, summoning the Seven Great Immortal Lords to the Central Immortal Palace for a meeting.

The Central Immortal Palace, this place is the center of the entire Immortal Alliance, and can be called the supreme place for all races within the Nine Heavens.

Above the main hall, the sun and moon rotate, and stars twinkle. Standing at the highest point of the Immortal Alliance, one can overlook the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance from here.

At any time, one of the Seven Great Immortal Lords would be stationed here.

For the past hundred thousand years, the one stationed at the Central Immortal Palace was Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord of the Phoenix Clan.

As soon as Xuan Lin Immortal Lord arrived, the first thing he saw was Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord’s flawless yet expressionless face, which at first glance made it impossible to distinguish her gender. She nodded slightly at him.

Lin Li also nodded in response.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans all have their top-tier, pure, supreme Bloodlines, such as the Holy Blood Qilin of the Qilin Clan and the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan. Currently, the two Immortal Lords of these clans, Xuan Lin Immortal Lord and Fu Hai Immortal Lord, are also from supreme Bloodlines.

Only Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord is different. The supreme Bloodline of the Phoenix Clan is the Heavenly Phoenix and Heavenly Phoenix. Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, as her name suggests, was originally a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and is not even considered a pure Phoenix Clan member. Yet, with undeniable prestige and strength, she surpassed all True Immortals of the Phoenix Clan to become an Immortal Lord.

She and Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord are also the only two female Immortal Lords among the Seven Great Immortal Lords.

“Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord, why have you summoned us?”

Lin Li asked.

Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord shook her head and said indifferently, “It wasn’t I who issued the summons, but Tian Yuan.”

“Tian Yuan?”

Lin Li frowned.

The Heavenly Human Clan had two Immortal Lords, and their power was undoubtedly the strongest. Their tempers were also uniformly arrogant, which made Lin Li somewhat displeased.

He said indifferently, “Then where is he?”

Before Vermilion Bird Immortal Lord could reply, a cold voice already rang out.

“I’m here.”

Lin Li turned around and saw two figures walking side by side into the Immortal Palace main hall.

Above their heads, faint golden patterns shimmered with light. Their temperament was noble. One was tall, wearing divine armor, walking with powerful strides like a peerless Divine General.

The other wore white clothes, with his hands clasped behind his back, appearing extraordinary and refined.

Both were so handsome as to be unlike humans.

They were the two great Immortal Lords of the Heavenly Human Clan, Tian Yuan Immortal Lord and Wandering Mind Immortal Lord.
