The Charm of Soul Pets

“After it defeated Yellow Spring, I gave an item to it. It was a demon tear, a true first generation yellow Spring Tear. It was a sacred item guarded by me to give to the strongest demon in middle island over the past thousand years.”

Old raccoon man glanced at Chu mu and continued, “After I gave it the yellow spring tear, I didn’t use it. Only when I told it that the yellow spring tear could revive demmon type organisms did it combine it with its soul.”

“Yellow spring tear, you mean the real yellow spring? Undead rank Yellow Spring?” Xu Kuang asked.

Undead yellow spring, the first generation of demon burial mound protectors. If it were still alive, how powerful would it be!

Old raccoon man nodded, “Yes, other than that, what organisms have the ability to revive creatures?”

“Yellow spring allowed it to be reborn. After it was reborn, it became the protector of yellow springs road that you see now!”

Now, Chu Mu finally understood why their soul pact broke.

However, Chu Mu never would have thought that Night had such a heart-wrenching experience after their soul pact broke.

Luckily, it got the recognition that revived it from undead to demon!

“Hui~~~~~~~~”

A loud call sounded. At the same time Night stepped forward, the corpse army slowly retreated.

Old raccoon man glanced at the retreating army and said, “You don’t have the qualifications to continue on this road. Go back where you came from. This army will no longer pose a threat to you.”

Hearing the old raccoon man’s words, Xu Kuang let out a breath. As long as he could leave here safely.

The corpse army already disappeared into the darkness. They could feel the corpse aura slowly back off.

Chao Lengchuan glanced back at the place shrouded by a light screen and asked, “That goes to inner island, but what is in the inner island?”

“It’s known as Immortal Heavenly Realm. You humans don’t have the qualification to step in. All demons in middle island have the ultimate goal of entering inner island because all the demon aura and resources come from the inner island. The aura alone could create countless dominator ranks. However, dominator ranks are a pitiful rank in heavenly realm…..”

“Every once in a while, demons earn the chance to enter heavenly realm. Whoever has a chance to enter is determined by me.” Old raccoon man said.

Saying that, old raccoon man’s eyes fell on the slowly approaching Night.

In its eyes, one could see the praise and appreciation the old raccoon man had for Night. Even without the old raccoon man making it clear, they knew that the one qualified had to be this Yellow Spring!

“Kid, your soul pact ended the moment it died. It’s a free demon now. It not killing you and opening the way for you to leave is already a mercy because of your past relationship. You can bring these people and leave now. I need to put the demon crown on its head, and lead it into heavenly realm to make it an immortal rank demon!” Old raccoon man said.

Chu Mu was stunned before staring at Night, slightly spaced out.

Soul pact breaking meant their relationship was over?

Chu Mu knew there had to be such a day when he got old, and his soul pets would leave him. However, he never realized this day would come so quick!

“To Night, demon burial mound inner island is probably its final destination.” Chu Mu laughed bitterly.

If his own soul pets gained its own dreams and could reach a new height, as a spiritual Soul Pet Trainer, the only thing he had to do was feel proud of it.

A soul pact wasn’t a slave treaty. Soul pets would risk their lives without a word just for their soul pet trainers, so why would a soul pet trainer have any reason to restrict a soul pet from going on further?

Chu Mu saw Night start walking towards him, and the piece of his heart that felt empty started hurting all over again.

Chu Mu could be open minded, but there was no way Chu Mu truly could let go easily. After all, Night had followed him for so long. Chu Mu would never be able to forget Night’s elegant figure running through a dark, moonlit night.

“Hui~~~~~~” Night walked by Chu Mu, and slightly lowered its head to enjoy Chu Mu’s petting.

A bright blue glow appeared on Night’s body, originating from its heart and spreading through its dream horn to Chu Mu’s palm.

This glow caused Chu Mu to temporarily lose focus. This was the glow of a soul pact!

“Chu…. Chu Mu, it’s asking you…..” Princess Jin Rou said excitedly to Chu Mu.

The blue glow, the unique glow of a soul pact. Night was asking for him to sign a soul pact with it again.

Chu Mu was stunned. He never would have expected Night to bring it up proactively.

Old Raccoon man’s words caused Chu Mu to almost be sure Night was going to leave him, yet now it was coming up to propose a soul pact with him…..

The old raccoon man was also confused. He quickly jumped to Night and said panickingly, “Yellow Spring, what are you doing?”

“Hui~~~~~~~” Night let out a call to tell the old raccoon man something.

“Chu Mu, Night is willing to come back.” Princess Jin Rou quickly said to Chu Mu.

After hearing old raccoon man explain, Princess Jin Rou was also crying from hearing about Night’s heart.

“You’ve reached the last step already. All you have to do is step forth and you’ll become a member of the demon heavenly realm. You have to know that heavenly realm is gathering the strongest demons in the world. You being able to step into heavenly realm is the highest honor a demon can ever achieve!” Old raccoon man said excitedly.

A demon’s greatest honor. The entire middle islands’ dominator rank islands fight their whole lives for this honor. Now, Night has already gotten the final recognition and can step into the sacred halls that all demons dream of!

Old Li believed that no demon could possibly reject this invitation, especially with Night breaking the soul pact with the human already.

“Hui~~~~~~” Night didn’t step towards the old raccoon man. It stood behind Chu Mu, its deep black eyes holding no hesitation.

“Wuwuwu~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a fox call came!

A brown figure dashed extremely quickly into view with its long tail. It was the Forgotten Creek seven sin fox rock emperor!

The rock emperor stood in front of Night, and stared at Night, confused, before glancing at Chu Mu.

“Wuwuwu~~~~~~” Seven sin fox let out a call that clearly was questioning why Night was giving them up for this human.

This was the unique demon home. Demons were destined to live here and enter heavenly realm. It already got the qualifications to get in, so why did it have to give up and become a slave of a human?

Seven sin fox didn't understand Night. When they first stepped into Yellow Spring Road together, they agreed to enter demon realm together. Night finally got over all the barriers and made it, yet the moment this human appears he lost his resolve?

Night didn't like to talk. It remained silent and merely gazed with its black eyes at the seven sin fox rock emperor.

They fought together in middle island and lifted each other up in this cruel world. They even stepped into yellow springs road together. This friendship was very very deep. Like Mo Xie, Zhan Ye, and Devil tree, it was truly a bond forged by blood.

But, Night’s heart didn’t belong in this demon sacred ground. It had a nomadic bloodline and a heart to wander. Before it became old, it was willing to continue to explore and run with Chu Mu.

Night’s heart was something seven sin fox rock emperor would never understand, nor would the raccoon man. So, it didn't try to explain and instead simply told them it was his choice.

Old Racoon Man didn’t know what to do anymore. It indeed didn't expect the soul pet with a broken soul pact to return to the shackles of a human…...

“Your actions always surprise me.” Old raccoon man was helpless and glanced at Chu Mu, wanting to see what was special about him.

Night said nothing. Its deep blue glow became darker. Chu Mu could already feel Night’s soul.

Chu Mu no longer hesitated, and chanted the soul pact incantation to reopen the already broken seventh soul pact.

Chu Mu and Night still had a sliver connected. When they both opened up their souls, Chu Mu could clearly feel a stronger connection being established between them.

A familiar feeling came from Night’s soul, and this familiar feeling swiftly filled the missing piece of Chu Mu’s soul!

Blue glow surrounded Chu Mu. A mark appeared on Chu Mu’s forehead that belonged to Night slowly was etched into his soul.

At the same time, Chu Mu felt his soul ripple!

As the ripples got stronger and stronger, Chu Mu felt his soul rising!

Chu Mu himself was also shocked. He had no clue his soul pact healing would cause him to advance!

From fourth remembrance to fifth remembrance, Night’s soul impacted Chu Mu immensely, instantly helping him into fifth remembrance.

After stepping into fifth remembrance, Chu Mu’s soul was still rippling and showed signs of increasing again!

The fifth remembrance soul continued to ripple. With a blue glow that appeared, Chu Mu’s soul again ascended and he reached sixth remembrance spirit dominator!

Continuous advancement!!

Chu Mu himself was in disbelief. One has to know he stepped into fourth remembrance not long ago. After reaching spirit dominator, every rank was incredibly hard to surpass. Yet, he just gained two ranks!
