"Little Master?" Qian Duoduo's scalp tingled.
"Could it be the Heavenly Beast in the lake?"
Qian Duoduo was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and his strength was indeed insufficient in front of the Thorn Spirit Vine, a Spiritual Artifact equivalent to a Great Perfection.
The Thorn Spirit Vine shook its head.
"It's not the one in the lake. I don't know what kind of beast the Little Master is. But I know it has also lost its lucidity. If it were lucid, it wouldn't let this place become so terrible, making us so ferocious."
"Why did this place become like this?" Qian Duoduo asked the question again.
The Thorn Spirit Vine thought carefully.
"The Little Master tried many ways to restore Life Qi here, only then did it draw Spirit Liquid from the outside, but the Spirit Liquid was impure and contained defiled evil thoughts. This world regained Life Qi, but also lost its former tranquility. We are fine, but what I am most worried about is the Little Master."
It kept calling him "Little Master," but Qian Duoduo was guessing whether this Little Master was a Sacred Artifact.
The Thorn Spirit Vine glared at the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle and the Mystic Sky Crocodile.
"Don't you two worry? Without the Little Master, there would be no us."
The Dragon Head Treasure Eagle and the Mystic Sky Crocodile nodded repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, shall we go together?" The Thorn Spirit Vine looked at Qian Duoduo. "I need to borrow your Wisdom Eye to find the Little Master and rescue him."
"This—"
"Didn't you come here to observe Magic Treasures and learn Artifact Refining? Find the Little Master, let him give you some pointers, and your Artifact Refining level will naturally greatly improve."
The Thorn Spirit Vine saw through Qian Duoduo's thoughts, clearly stating that there were benefits to doing the work.
"How do you know?" Qian Duoduo retorted.
"Ever since this world existed, I have been here. There is nothing in this place that I do not know."
"A long, long time ago, every few days, Cultivators would come in. They always tried to beg me, asking me to take them to the Little Master."
The Thorn Spirit Vine's words seemed to imply that Qian Duoduo was being unappreciative.
It used to be others begging me. Now I'm asking you, and you're hesitating?
However, its words revealed that the Refining Saint Wall used to be a Secret Realm, a fast track for cultivating Artifact Refining talents.
"Are you sure the Little Master will still recognize you?" Qian Duoduo was worried about whether he could keep his life.
If his soul body were left here, the Qian Duoduo outside would definitely become an idiot.
"Definitely—not recognize. Otherwise, why would I take you?" The Thorn Spirit Vine revealed the domineering aura of a Spiritual Artifact.
"Can you control the Little Master, and then let me purify his black Qi?"
The Thorn Spirit Vine thought for a moment, "We alone can't do it, we also need to call the one in the lake. The one in the lake is also in a furious state right now."
Passing through the Primitive Forest and arriving in front of the lake, Qian Duoduo was stunned. More than half of the lake water was black, exactly like the Evil River water.
Qian Duoduo could confirm that the changes here were inseparable from the Evil River.
"Big Fool!"
Standing by the lake, the Thorn Spirit Vine shouted loudly.
The lake remained calm, as if there were no creatures in it.
"Throw something, blast the lake."
At the Thorn Spirit Vine's command, the Dragon Head Treasure Eagle picked up a large broken log from the Primitive Forest and threw it into the center of the lake.
"Boom!"
The giant log fell into the lake, splashing dozens of feet of waves, and a Spirit Whale Shark surfaced.
The Spirit Whale Shark's shark head was hundreds of feet large, and its aura far surpassed Liu Boli.
This was truly a Heavenly Beast!
Its true form was a Saber Sword Heavenly Shield, a high-grade Treasure Artifact.
The Spirit Whale Shark opened one clear white eye, while the other eye was closed.
It looked at the Thorn Spirit Vine and slowly said, "Little Vine is naughty again."
