Chapter 241: Xuanwu?

The massive mountain released from the compressed space covered an area of a hundred miles, far larger than the trial ground of the Yuye Family.
Chen Xiao was now extremely skilled. He quickly forced out a drop of blood glowing with golden light from the tip of his finger, activating the power of the Nine Heavens Xuanling Seal within him.
A pale golden trail slowly moved through the Main God’s Space, and within the mountain floating before Chen Xiao, a vast purple-colored map gradually emerged.
In Chen Xiao’s mental sea, that celestial map flashed again. Among the nine world illusions, the purple one that had absorbed the previous incomplete map reappeared.
That incomplete map struggled slightly before being absorbed by the world illusion once more.
In an instant, Chen Xiao felt as though his mind was connected to this world illusion. It seemed he could draw upon its power and enhance himself in an instant.
Previously, Chen Xiao could also utilize the power of these nine world illusions, but not fully—only borrowing it without control.
Now, however, it seemed he could control the power of this purple world illusion. Yet something was still missing; after all, it was still an illusion and couldn’t be fully mastered.
Moreover, because it had absorbed the second incomplete map, the power of the other eight world illusions seemed to be locked away within the celestial map, unavailable to Chen Xiao anymore.
But now, with the power of this purple world illusion, his strength had increased significantly.
“I’m afraid only by obtaining the third incomplete map can I fully solidify this purple world illusion and gain true world power.”
Chen Xiao sighed inwardly. This time, since he was in the Main God’s Space, his body was protected by the laws of the Main God. The disturbance caused by the return of the second incomplete map didn’t cause much harm to his body.
Also, inexplicably, some combat techniques and boxing styles appeared in his mind. The “Ascend to Heaven” technique seemed to have been supplemented as well, though he still didn’t understand its full content.
“This ‘Ascend to Heaven’ must be an incomplete technique. Only by obtaining the piece taken by the Dragon Family can it be completed.”
A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes.
“Yiya! Yiya! You brat, let your master Xixi out right now! Otherwise, I’ll eat you!”
Suddenly, an extremely angry cry echoed through the Main God’s Space.
Inside a small golden cage, Xixi waved his tiny fists and kept shouting, uttering various threatening words.
But by now, Xixi’s appearance had changed. The eight golden wings behind him had disappeared, replaced by two small wings—one black and one white. His body had also turned spherical, round and plump, making one want to pinch it.
With a fierce expression on his face and threatening words, he almost made Chen Xiao burst into laughter.

“Let you go?”
As soon as Chen Xiao saw Xi Xi, he wanted to pluck all his hair out.
“You ate my stuff. Tell me, how will you compensate?” Chen Xiao slowly descended in front of Xi Xi.
“Compensate? What did I eat from you, Great Xi Xi?” Xi Xi said angrily, “Let me go right now, or you’ll regret it!”
“Hehehehe…” Hearing his words, Chen Xiao laughed in anger. “What did you eat?”
With a wave of his hand, the remaining Black Tortoise eggshell appeared in his hand.
“You’re talking about this bird egg? It’s just an egg, right? Once I’m out, I’ll give you a hundred of them as compensation.”
Xi Xi mumbled under his breath.
“A bird egg?!” Chen Xiao said viciously, “This is a Black Tortoise egg! Do you know how much effort it took me to cultivate this egg? And now it’s all in your stomach!”
“A Black Tortoise egg?”
Xi Xi blinked, a hint of confusion flashing in his pale golden eyes. But the next moment, he seemed to understand, and his little face fell instantly.
“It’s actually a Black Tortoise egg… No wonder…” Xi Xi turned back pitifully, flapping his two remaining black-and-white wings.
“Tell me, how will you compensate me?” Chen Xiao crouched down, a warm smile on his face.
“Um…” Xi Xi seemed to realize he had made a mistake. He wasn’t stupid—someone who could trap him in this small cage and keep him from escaping must be extremely powerful.
He also realized that this cage was a hundred times stronger than the seals set by those 108 Second-Level Spirit Deities.
“Well, how about I give you my sister in compensation?” Xi Xi said, blinking his big eyes pitifully.
“Your sister?” Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. An image flashed in his mind: a little golden creature with eight golden wings fluttering behind it, looking at him with charm.
The next moment, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but shiver.
“Yes, my sister,” Xi Xi said seriously. “My sister is an absolutely stunning beauty. So many handsome guys tried to pursue her, but she kicked them all away. How about I give you my sister as compensation?”
“Uh…”
Chen Xiao couldn’t help but sniffle.
Countless handsome guys pursuing her? Could it be that countless golden kittens were pursuing a female cat?
If what this kid said was true, and he gave his sister to Chen Xiao, wouldn’t Chen Xiao end up dealing with a whole bunch of cats?
Chen Xiao quickly shook his head. “No, no. I know where your sister is now. I want compensation right away.”
“Um… What can I give you as compensation now…”
Xi Xi was almost crying, his pale golden eyes looking at Chen Xiao pitifully.
“How about this,” Chen Xiao said, a sly smile on his face. “Your sister isn’t here right now. You can use yourself as collateral here. When you meet your sister, then give her to me.”
“Um…” Xi Xi counted on his fingers, seemingly calculating something, before reluctantly nodding.

Chen Xiao smiled. With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the cage surrounding Xi Xi’s body.
“Damn it! If the tiger doesn’t show its fangs, do you think I’m a sick cat?!”
The moment the spatial cage was removed, Xi Xi suddenly erupted in fury. His head swelled instantly, his mouth opened dozens of meters wide, and he lunged at Chen Xiao.
“Dare you attack my master Xi Xi… Ouch!”
Bang!
Seeing Xi Xi charge at him, Chen Xiao wasn’t at all panicked. He reached out and punched Xi Xi’s head, knocking him to the ground.
“Hmph, little guy, daring to defy me?”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and a pale blue light palm appeared out of thin air, lifting Xi Xi up.
“Try showing off again. Let’s see if you’re a tiger or a sick cat.” A playful smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s lips.
“Aaaaaah…”
Xi Xi’s small body struggled in Chen Xiao’s grasp, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t break free.
Suddenly, two small wings appeared on Xi Xi’s back and detached from his body, turning into two black and white shadows that attacked Chen Xiao.
“Oh? So you’ve got that trick too?”
A glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s eyes. Two more palms appeared in midair, easily capturing those two shadows.
In the Main God’s space, Chen Xiao’s strength was only slightly weaker than that of the Main God. Dealing with this little guy required hardly any effort.
“What’s this…”
But when he saw clearly what he was holding, he was stunned.
In his hands were two palm-sized turtles, one black and one white. Yet these two turtles were different from ordinary turtles. Both had the heads of celestial dragons, their shells engraved with strange runes, and their four sharp claws kept swinging in the air. Behind them hung long tails covered in spikes.
“Are these two little things Xuanwu?”
Chen Xiao blinked. Had Xi Xi eaten the Xuanwu eggs, and the Xuanwu inside had become Xi Xi’s wings?
Chen Xiao reached out and gently tapped one of the black Xuanwu’s heads. The little creature seemed startled and immediately retracted its head.
Yes, this was a real living being, with a unique life force that was countless times stronger than that of ordinary creatures.
But the two of them seemed to be closely connected to Xi Xi.
Beast Tamer?
Suddenly, three words popped into Chen Xiao’s mind. Beast Tamer—another type of superhuman who had a powerful companion beast by their side.
Like Wan Hu, Qing Ye Li Ge, and Xue Ye Zi Xing, whom Chen Xiao had met—none of them were anything but Beast Tamers. The true strength of a Beast Tamer was equal to the combined power of themselves and their beast, making them extremely powerful.
Now, Chen Xiao realized that these two little Xuanwu had seemingly become Xi Xi’s beast companions.
What kind of situation was this?
A cat that tamed beasts? And this dazed cat was even taming two Xuanwu beasts that could potentially become the Main God’s beasts?

Chen Xiao felt his mind a bit confused. One Black Tortoise was already amazing; how did this little guy manage to create another one?
Chen Xiao carefully observed the two Black Tortoises in his hands. Their strength wasn’t very great, only at the Source Realm level, but their potential for growth was extremely vast, with an unlimited future.
Chen Xiao couldn’t help but look at the little cat with envy. The next moment, he remembered Shui Miao’s words—the bloodline of this little guy was even more terrifying than that of Black Tortoises.
At all costs, he had to keep this little guy by his side. In an instant, Chen Xiao made up his mind.
