Master, when can I become your wife?

In the Eternal Mountains, one can encounter almost every type of ancient beast from the Primordial Realm, some strong and some weak.

If they can bring back an ancient beast, then this trip won't be a complete waste.

Ye Junze looked at the various ancient beasts and passersby in the area.

Many people are accompanied by an ancient beast.

They can be cute, fierce, beautiful, or just plain silly.

In short, each has its own unique characteristics.

"What should we do now? Should we go straight to find the humanoid ancient beasts, or wander around?"

Yue Qingge turned her head and asked.

For her, the main purpose of coming to this world was actually to travel, but she also wanted to listen to Ye Junze's opinion.

Ye Junze thought for a moment and said, "Let's wander around. As for those humanoid ancient beasts, we'll encounter them naturally if we're lucky."

If they go specifically to find ancient beasts, they are likely to be disappointed if they don't find them, which does not align with their original purpose for coming here.

"Um."

Yue Qingge nodded and looked around. She was completely clueless about this world, so she didn't know where to go for fun.

For now, all I can do is wander around.

Ye Junze and his group, with their handsome men and beautiful women, should have been quite eye-catching wherever they went.

But it's different in the Eternal Realm.

Nobody cared.

For humans in the Eternal Realm, ancient beasts are the true heroes, the true beauties.

After wandering around the Wan Gu Mountains for a long time, Ye Junze and his group finally arrived at a town.

This is a town located on the outskirts of the Wangu Mountains.

Ancient town.

The town's name is that simple.

Perhaps it's a town symbolizing ancient beasts?

Ye Junze was unsure, but upon entering the ancient town, he could sense that there were many powerful individuals here.

Looking around, one could see several powerful individuals at the Integration Stage or above.

The ancient beasts accompanying these people possessed cultivation levels of Tribulation Transcending or even Mahayana Stage.

Yue Qingge's cultivation level was higher, so she was able to sense even more the immense power hidden within this ancient town.

There are many people here whose cultivation level is even higher than hers.

Walking through the ancient town and listening to the conversations of the people there, Ye Junze roughly understood the situation of the place.

The ancient town is the only town located near the Wangu Mountains.

It is said that this place was established by a powerful ancient beast in the Eternal Mountains and a human powerhouse after discussions, allowing humans in the Eternal Realm to communicate with the ancient beast in the Eternal Mountains.

Furthermore, the Eternal Mountains are the place with the largest number of rare and powerful ancient beasts in the Eternal Realm.

Therefore, this place often attracts many people who want to become stronger.

Their goal is to form a contract with a powerful ancient beast here, thereby becoming the strongest being.

Therefore, the ancient town is also known as a place of miracles.

Here, even if you are an ordinary mortal, you have the chance to become an immortal who lives as long as the heavens.

This is a miracle unique to the ancient realm, a gift from ancient beasts.

Listening to the whispers of the passersby around her, Yue Qingge suddenly realized something very important and quickly asked, "By the way, we're not from the Ancient Realm, can we form contracts with ancient beasts?"

"Can't."

Ye Junze shook his head and said, "The Ancient Beast Contract of the Eternal Realm is specially designed for the people of the Eternal Realm, and only the people of the Eternal Realm can benefit from it."

"If we want to form a contract with an ancient beast, we need the ancient beast that set the contract rules to create a contract specifically for the people of the Xuantian Realm."

"But he doesn't need to do that, and the people of Xuantian Realm might not accept it."

As a person of the Xuantian Realm, if you want to form a contract with an ancient beast, you can only use the Heavenly Dao Contract, which is the equal contract of the Xuantian Realm.

This is universal.

In this way, one can gain the friendship of the ancient beasts, but not their gifts.

That's a pity.

Yue Qingge was somewhat disappointed; she had been hoping to contract a powerful and adorable ancient beast to improve her cultivation.

If not, that would be a real shame.

Seeing this, Ye Junze smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to feel sorry. Although the ancient beast contracts in the Eternal Realm have advantages, they also have limitations."

"After signing the Ancient Beast Contract, the contractor cannot harm the Ancient Beast with whom they have made the contract, but the Ancient Beast can harm the contractor."

"Furthermore, a contractor can only sign a contract with one ancient beast in their lifetime. If they want to sign a second contract, the first ancient beast must give up its contract."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to enjoy the powerful force that comes from making a contract with an ancient beast, you also have to accept the price.

What Ye Junze didn't mention was that if the ancient beast died during the contract signing process, the human would not only lose all his power, but would also suffer the backlash of the contract, ranging from minor injuries to mental damage to becoming an idiot.

The same applies if the contractor forcibly terminates the contract.

Yue Qingge twitched the corner of her mouth. "Then forget it."

I can't hurt my own ancient beast... What if the ancient beast I've contracted has a bad temper? Wouldn't I just be left to take the beating?

This contract is outrageous!

In comparison, their contract with the Xuan Tian Realm is still better.

It's either an equal contract or a master-servant contract; there aren't many fancy rules.

Ye Junze and his companions chatted as they wandered aimlessly through the ancient town.

Around noon, the two arrived at a restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, one sees a humanoid ancient beast serving dishes to guests.

This is a humanoid ancient beast with blood-red bat wings.

Ye Junze took a closer look and realized that this so-called humanoid ancient beast could actually be understood as Fu Rui.

It refers to anthropomorphic animal-type creatures.

Some people might really like this type of creature, like the person who issued the mission in the Daoist Sect, who might be one of those people.

However, it must be admitted that some humanoid creatures are still quite cute or handsome.

The one in front of us, for example, is probably modeled after a bat.

You can tell by the black wings on its back.

Yue Qingge was also examining the humanoid ancient beast in front of her, and finally came to a conclusion.

This is not human.

Well, actually no conclusions have been reached, we just have a general idea of ​​what this so-called humanoid ancient beast looks like.

The creature in front of me must be the contracted ancient beast of the restaurant owner, otherwise it wouldn't be helping out here.

The food at the restaurant was pretty good.

Or perhaps it's because the ingredients in the ancient world are relatively novel, which makes them feel fresh to eat.

Just as the group was enjoying their meal...

Suddenly, a handsome young man walked in and immediately spotted Ye Junze and his group.

Without the slightest hesitation, the young man immediately walked over and slammed his hand on the table.

Snapped--

This sudden scene startled Ye Junze and the others who were eating. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the person who had come was actually Wu Lingxiao.

This was something no one had anticipated.

How did this guy end up in the Ancient Realm?

Could it be that he ran away when Wu Tianqiong called him, so he came specifically to find him and go back?

That would be really unnecessary, wouldn't it?

Looking at the group of people who were enjoying their meal, Wu Lingxiao felt extremely aggrieved.

Do these guys even know what he's been through these past few months?!

Oh... he's only been in the Eternal Realm for a short time.

But that's not important. What's important is that this shouldn't have been pinned on him in the first place.

But Wu Lingxiao ultimately didn't say anything.

He simply sighed deeply and then sat down without any hesitation.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Junze was a little curious, so he looked outside again, but he didn't see Long Xiao.

Seeing Ye Junze looking outside, Wu Lingxiao said speechlessly, "Stop looking. Long Xiao isn't here. Long Qianye isn't willing to release him."

Long Xiao has been on the Divine Battle Peak for so long and still hasn't cleared the 999th floor of the Peak Tower. Even a fool could see that something was wrong.

Long Qianye was no exception, but what could he do?

He had no choice; he couldn't enter the Peak Tower to fight alongside Long Xiao, so he notified Long Zhen.

He originally wanted to invite Long Xiao to come to the Eternal Realm together.

However, Long Qianye said that he had already informed Long Zhen that if Long Xiao could not clear the 999th floor this year, then he would be forcibly taken back.

Helpless, he had to come alone... Actually, he came more than once, because he traveled by Starship.

At this moment, the Starship is docked in the central region of the Eternal Realm.

His mission location is in the Central Region.

The reason I came here is to see if I can bring back an ancient beast.

But to his surprise, Ye Junze and his group were also there!

Ye Junze nodded in understanding, then asked, "Alright, what brings you to the Ancient Realm?"

Wu Lingxiao shrugged and said, "When it came to the mission, you two ran away, and the other peak masters weren't willing to come, so it ended up falling on my shoulders."

"However, this is nothing serious. It's just that a powerful figure from the Ancient Realm invited us to be guests. I can handle it myself."

Wu Lingxiao had no intention of troubling Ye Junze and the others; he could tell that these guys were just here to have fun.

Ye Junze even brought along his two apprentices.

At this point, if one were to rudely disturb the sweet life of these people, it would be rather tactless.

Ye Junze understood. "Well, then I won't help. But is that powerful figure in the ancient town?"

"no."

Wu Lingxiao grinned, "I came here to have fun. Didn't they say there are legendary ancient beasts here? I want to see them, and maybe I can bring back a miracle-type ancient beast."

Many people are very curious about the ancient beasts of the Primordial Realm.

According to existing records, the ancient beasts of the Eternal Realm are divided into legendary ancient beasts, ordinary ancient beasts, mysterious ancient beasts, and miracle-type ancient beasts.

Miracle-type ancient beasts are extremely rare.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you accidentally encountered a golden rabbit before. Golden rabbits are actually extremely rare, but they're not much of a deal once you get to the Eternal Mountains.

If it were a Celestial Bird that could produce Celestial Crystals, I wonder how many people would fawn over it.

Yes, to please.

To form a contract with an ancient beast, the beast must willingly agree.

Therefore, a bad relationship is absolutely unacceptable.

Wu Lingxiao continued, "To ensure I can successfully win over the ancient beasts, I specifically bought a guide to winning over the ancient beasts through miracles."

As he spoke, he casually took out the strategy manual that he had bought for tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones.

It contains the survival habits of various miraculous ancient beasts, their general distribution, and corresponding strategies based on their different preferences and personalities.

Since we live in the Ancient Realm, a contractor who can't conquer ancient beasts is not a good contractor.

Looking at the strategy guide in front of him, Ye Junze couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "You've really prepared well."

"Of course, I only have about a month. If I fail to complete the mission, wouldn't I have come all this way for nothing?"

Wu Lingxiao shrugged.

There are only two ways to contract ancient beasts: one is through strategy or through coercion.

However, the latter is extremely dangerous.

Generally speaking, those who use force to coerce others will not sign a contract, because if they do, they will be killed by the ancient beasts.

Therefore, the main purpose of using force to coerce is to enslave the ancient beasts.

The fate of these people is self-evident.

They might be able to enjoy a good life for a while, but if they encounter an honest ancient beast contractor or a powerful ancient beast, the outcome will be tragic.

Those who enslave ancient beasts would be on par with evil cultivators in the Xuan Tian Realm.

But they don't have the ability to practice evil cultivation.

Ye Junze said, "Then let's go into the Eternal Mountains later and see if we can find any ancient beasts we like."

"Okay, I'll go buy some things first, otherwise it'll be a wasted trip if the kidnapping fails."

After saying this, Wu Lingxiao picked up a whole roast duck from the table, turned around and left the restaurant to buy props that might be needed later.

"Should we get ready?"

Yue Qingge asked.

"If you really want to contract an ancient beast, you can prepare in advance."

"Then forget it."

Yue Qingge lay on the table; she had no desire to fawn over the ancient beast.

That would be so embarrassing.

The people of the Ancient Realm do this because it is an essential survival tactic for them as contractors.

But she doesn't need it.

As for Wu Lingxiao... all I can say is that he adapted to local customs.

……

Wu Lingxiao acted quickly. Ye Junze and the others had just finished eating when they went outside and saw Wu Lingxiao returning.

At this moment, Wu Lingxiao was still holding the strategy manual in his hand, studying it carefully.

Upon seeing Ye Junze and his group emerge, he asked, "Do you want to contract ancient beasts? If so, I can give you some items."

Yue Qingge immediately shook her head, "No need, we'll leave it to fate. You should keep it for yourself."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Wu Lingxiao did not insist, but instead led the way towards the Wangu Mountain Range.

Ye Junze and his group followed behind.

As Yue Qingge watched Wu Lingxiao's retreating figure, she began to imagine the scene of Wu Lingxiao following behind the ancient beast as he delivered gifts.

That would be very interesting.

I'll have to take pictures of everything with a photo stone when the time comes.

Hmm... Ideally, we could film the scene where Wu Lingxiao presents a gift, only to have it ruthlessly rejected by the ancient beast.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Yue Qingge's lips.
