Chapter 619: Awe

The Frostwhale and Ice Phoenix looked up in astonishment.

Chu Ning's voice continued to echo in their ears.

"If I wanted, I could kill you at any moment, but I've just taken over Longsky Hall, and I don't wish to plunge Northern Han into chaos just yet.

If you're willing to submit to me, I can spare your lives."

The Frostwhale turned to Chu Ning and asked through a sound transmission, "What do you mean by submission, fellow cultivator?"

"Become my Spirit Beast!" Chu Ning replied through another sound transmission, causing the Frostwhale to almost jump up as if it had stepped on its tail.

"Absolutely not! I will not endure such humiliation!" it said, its eyes fixed on Chu Ning with rage.

It was not like the Earth Rhino Dragon, trapped for tens of thousands of years in a secret realm. The Frostwhale was a ruler in the Boundless Sea of Northern Han.

Being asked to become Chu Ning's Spirit Beast was a great humiliation.

The Ice Phoenix's eyes also turned cold, clearly provoked by Chu Ning's words.

Chu Ning was not surprised by the reactions of the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts.

If it weren't for the fact that his Five Elements Spirit Sword didn't lack spirit souls, and that they were currently under the watchful eyes of many, he would have already used his treasure to slay the two demons.

Instead of gradually subduing them as he had done earlier, he would have taken them out swiftly.

Killing a Tenth Rank Demonic Beast was not a difficult task for Chu Ning.

But his purpose in Northern Han was to create the Primordial Divine Art, and a stable cultivation environment was what he sought.

He didn't want to be drawn into a war between human cultivators and the demon race, which would divert too much of his energy.

Seeing the intense reactions of the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts, Chu Ning's expression remained unchanged.

He continued through a sound transmission, "Don't be hasty in your refusal. Let me finish speaking, and then you can make your decision.

I only want to establish a contract with you, but I won't ask you to follow me around. You can return to your own territories to cultivate.

This contract will only last for five hundred years.

Compared to your long lifespans as Heaven-Earth Spirit Beasts, five hundred years is nothing."

Upon hearing this, the anger in the eyes of the Frostwhale and Ice Phoenix diminished slightly.

Chu Ning continued, "As for what I require of you, first, when you return to the Boundless Sea and Snow Peak Mountains, keep an eye on the demonic beasts there.

I want relative stability and balance in Northern Han, and you should know how to achieve this after being here for so long.

Secondly, in case of conflicts or enemies, I'll need your assistance."

Seeing a hint of hesitation in the eyes of the Frostwhale and Ice Phoenix, Chu Ning added, "You can rest assured that I won't bother you under normal circumstances. I'll only contact you when there's a need for Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts.

After all, there are already many Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators in Longsky Hall.

Even in situations requiring Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to appear.

I have two Heaven-Earth Spirit Beasts by my side, one of which is a Tenth Rank Earth Rhino Dragon, older and more powerful than both of you."

Hearing that Chu Ning had a Tenth Rank Earth Rhino Dragon as his Spirit Beast, the eyes of the Frostwhale and Ice Phoenix widened in surprise.

Chu Ning continued, "There are also benefits. You should know that there was once a Cangxuan Spirit Turtle in the Void Abyss.

This turtle and I have a close relationship, and it has already broken through the Tenth Rank to reach the Half-God Realm.

In a few years, it should return to Northern Han, and at that time, it can give you some pointers."

Mentioning the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle, the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts showed signs of surprise.

The turtle's reputation in Northern Han, along with the Void Abyss, was well-known, and they couldn't have missed hearing about it.

But when Chu Ning mentioned his close relationship with the turtle, the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts became skeptical.

Chu Ning noticed their skepticism and turned to the Ice Phoenix, saying, "You just saw me use a defensive shield. This shield was refined from the shell of the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle after it shed its shell.

Think about it carefully, and you should be able to figure it out."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Phoenix's expression changed again, and her eyes showed a hint of contemplation. She then nodded slightly towards the Frostwhale.

The Frostwhale immediately began communicating with the Ice Phoenix through a sound transmission.

Chu Ning couldn't hear their conversation, but he could sense the fluctuations in their divine senses as they spoke.

He remained patient and waited quietly.

After a few breaths, the Frostwhale turned back to Chu Ning.

"After discussing with Ice Phoenix, we agree to your proposal. But..."

The Frostwhale's gaze swept over the crowd of cultivators behind Chu Ning.

"This place is not suitable. We don't want news of us becoming your Spirit Beasts to spread throughout Northern Han."

The Frostwhale's tone and attitude were resolute. As Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts that had dominated Northern Han for many years, they had their own dignity.

Chu Ning finished listening and smiled lightly.

"This is easy!"

As he spoke, Chu Ning casually took out a small formation plate and a flag from his storage bag.

With the infusion of Essence Energy, the flag waved, and white mist rose above the entire sea surface.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Ning and the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts were enveloped within a range of thousands of meters.

The cultivators behind could no longer see clearly.

This scene immediately caused the many cultivators who were watching to look at each other in bewilderment.

However, after witnessing Chu Ning's brutal beating of the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts earlier, no one dared to act rashly at this moment.

After a moment, the white mist dissipated, and in the crowd's vision, the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts had transformed back into human forms.

"Daoist Chu, we have offended you today. As the Grandmaster of Longsky Hall, we, the demon race of the Boundless Sea, are convinced and submit," said the middle-aged man transformed from the Frostwhale. He bowed to Chu Ning.

The Ice Phoenix, transformed into a beautiful woman, also bowed at this moment.

"The demon race of the Snow Peak Mountains feels the same!"

Chu Ning nodded slightly, and the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts did not linger any longer. They turned into two streaks of light and flew away swiftly.

Many were surprised that Chu Ning let the two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts go so easily, but even more so, they turned their attention to Chu Ning, their eyes filled with awe.

With his own strength, he fought and severely injured two Tenth Rank Demonic Beasts, directly subduing them.

Such a glorious achievement had never been seen in the Northern Han region for nearly a thousand years!

At this moment, no one was concerned about whether Chu Ning was a Mid-stage or Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yu Taohang was undoubtedly the most embarrassed among them. When he saw Chu Ning turn around and fly away, he subconsciously avoided Chu Ning's gaze.

Having just witnessed Chu Ning's one-against-two battle against the demons, Yu Taohang was well aware that if he were to face Chu Ning, he would likely be instantly killed.

Although he was astonished at how a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Chu Ning could possess such formidable strength, this was not the time to ponder over it.

It was best to stay out of Chu Ning's way.

However, he couldn't just turn around and leave, as doing so might provoke Chu Ning, making the situation even more difficult.

When he felt Chu Ning's gaze sweep over him, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Meng Ruyuzhen didn't feel as uncomfortable as Yu Taohang, after all, he hadn't directly challenged Chu Ning earlier.

But since he had spoken up to criticize Chu Ning, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward at this moment.

Among the three, Ling Xuan, who had remained silent until now, became the only one who could face Chu Ning without hesitation.

As soon as Chu Ning flew away, Ling Xuan immediately bowed and smiled, "Daoist Chu, your cultivation is truly awe-inspiring!

What Daoist Fan and Daoist Lu said is indeed true. Your cultivation is indeed not inferior to theirs!

With you leading Longsky Hall, it is a blessing for all cultivators in the Northern Han region!"

Upon hearing Ling Xuan's words, the other cultivators echoed in agreement.

"Indeed, with Grandmaster Chu in charge, the demon race will never dare to invade recklessly again!"

"With Grandmaster Chu leading Longsky Hall, all cultivators in the Northern Han region will benefit!"

Even Nascent Soul cultivators dared not address Chu Ning as 'Daoist' like Ling Xuan did, and instead respectfully referred to him as 'Grandmaster'.

As for the numerous Golden Core cultivators, they naturally addressed him as 'Senior'.

In an instant, nearly a hundred people on the sea surface spoke up, and their words were filled with praise and reverence for Chu Ning.

This caused the many Longsky Hall cultivators to proudly display their arrogance.

Fan Ze Xian and Lu Xuedao, both Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, had a certain level of prestige in the Northern Han region, but they had never been able to convince so many cultivators.

They understood that Chu Ning's injury and retreat of the two demons would undoubtedly make Longsky Hall even more prominent in the Northern Han region.

Facing this praise, Chu Ning didn't immediately respond.

His gaze unintentionally shifted towards Yu Taohang and Meng Ruyuzhen.

Yu Taohang and Meng Ruyuzhen immediately understood Chu Ning's intention and exchanged a glance.

A hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

It seemed that unless they softened their stance towards Chu Ning, they wouldn't be able to pass this hurdle.

Meng Ruyuzhen quickly took the lead and said, "Daoist Ling's words are indeed true. Daoist Chu's divine abilities are far beyond our reach.

I believe that from this battle onwards, the demon race will never dare to invade again, and that is indeed fortunate for us."

Meng Ruyuzhen bowed and said, "Daoist Chu, I wasn't fully aware of the situation earlier. If I have offended you in any way, I beg for your forgiveness!"

"This old fellow is quick to act," Yu Taohang thought to himself.

He had just prepared to yield, but Meng Ruyuzhen beat him to it.

Moreover, Meng Ruyuzhen had already said so much.

If Chu Ning were to accept this favor, he would have to humble himself even more, or Chu Ning would never let it go.

This thought flashed through Yu Taohang's mind, and before Chu Ning could respond, he quickly interjected, "Daoist Chu, the recent incident was primarily my fault. I, as a frog in a well, was blind to the greatness of Mount Tai. I spoke out of turn, seeing that you were only at the Intermediate Nascent Soul stage."

"Daoist Meng was also provoked by me, so if you want to blame someone, blame me," Yu Taohang added.

As Meng Ruyuzhen and Yu Taohang finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became quiet.

These two were well-known Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Northern Frigid Region, yet they were publicly apologizing to Chu Ning in front of everyone.

It seemed that strength was indeed the deciding factor!

Everyone present was deeply impressed.

Xi Wenxia and Chang Lingshan, who were in the crowd, were particularly excited.

Xi Wenxia's cold and glamorous eyes shone with a brilliant light.

"In the path of cultivation, one should stand proud and tall like our Master, towering above the world!"

Chu Ning glanced at Yu Taohang and Meng Ruyuzhen, who had both publicly apologized.

Then, he turned his gaze to Yu Taohang.

"Daoist Yu, do you still want to test my cultivation further?"

Yu Taohang's expression froze upon hearing Chu Ning's words.

He hadn't expected that after saying all this and lowering his stance so much, Chu Ning would still be so aggressive.

As Yu Taohang's face twitched slightly, he felt extremely annoyed.

However, in the end, he didn't dare to get angry.

Instead, he stiffly said, "Daoist Chu is joking. With your ability to suppress two Tenth Stage Great Demons alone, how could I possibly be your match?"

"Oh, so we're not going to compare anymore?" Chu Ning looked at Yu Taohang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Feeling humiliated by Chu Ning, Yu Taohang had a momentary impulse to just fight Chu Ning right then and there.

But when he thought of Chu Ning's terrifying strength, he clenched his fist and then relaxed it.

"I admit defeat; I won't compare anymore!" Yu Taohang replied, feeling extremely frustrated.

Seeing Yu Taohang's slightly distorted expression, Chu Ning smiled lightly.

He naturally knew that for Yu Taohang, this scene was probably even more unbearable than losing directly to him.

For Chu Ning, after demonstrating his strength by driving away two Tenth Stage Great Demons in front of everyone, he was naturally not interested in defeating Yu Taohang at this moment.

So, he turned his gaze away from Yu Taohang.

"Since that's the case, please, all of you, return to the Celestial Sky Temple for the ceremony," Chu Ning said.

Yu Taohang, feeling extremely embarrassed, no longer had the heart to attend the ceremony.

Seeing that Chu Ning was about to fly back, he quickly spoke up, "Daoist Chu, I suddenly remembered that there are some urgent matters in the sect that require my attention. I'll take my leave first."

Without waiting for Chu Ning's response, Yu Taohang turned around and flew away.

Meng Ruyuzhen hesitated for a moment, but then his eyes returned to normal.

As if nothing had happened, he followed behind Chu Ning, flying towards the Celestial Sky Temple.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly.

After Chu Ning displayed his formidable strength, no one dared to cause any trouble. Everyone offered their congratulations and blessings.

Although Chu Ning had never liked these formalities, he still followed Lu Ziyou's arrangements since these cultivators had come for him.

The ceremony lasted for three whole days.

The news of Chu Ning becoming the new Chamberlain of the Celestial Sky Temple spread throughout Ice Island Immortal City, and the low-level cultivators became aware of it.

For Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was still unclear what this meant.

But for Golden Core Cultivators and above, especially Nascent Soul Cultivators, they were all deeply impressed.

Chu Ning's fame spread throughout the Northern Frigid Region.

The benefits this brought to the Celestial Sky Temple and Ice Island Immortal City would gradually become apparent.

Chu Ning, however, didn't bother himself with these matters.

After the ceremony, he gathered the Golden Core and above cultivators of the Celestial Sky Temple.

He officially announced Lu Ziyou and Ren Heng's positions as Deputy Chamberlains, as well as the elder positions of Wu Lingwei and the others.

The Guardian positions were assigned to the Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators in the temple, and Xi Wenxia, Chu Ning's personal disciple, was also a Guardian.

No one had any objections to this.

In fact, many cultivators had come to express their loyalty to Chu Ning in recent days.

Especially the Nascent Soul Cultivators in the temple, who now showed even more reverence towards Chu Ning than before.

Chu Ning was delighted by this.

He left the specific affairs of the temple to these individuals and wholeheartedly immersed himself in cultivation.
