"Different? How?" Hong Ling inquired after hearing Lan Yingying’s mumble, her face filled with curiosity. Enjoy more content from freewebnovel

"I consumed some of my master’s blood and initiated the contract myself," she explained.

"That’s what I did, too." Feng Yuxiang added.

"I see… Well, there are several methods to form a contract, and Divine Beasts are inherently different, so it’s not that weird your method was different," said Hong Ling. "As for our Heavenly Beast Sect, this is how we teach our disciples."

"Also, we’re not done yet."

Hong Ling shifted her attention back to the Earth-Shattering Ape and the disciple, who were silently staring at each other, almost as if they were communicating through voice transmission.

Several minutes later, the disciple’s aura suddenly weakened, and his cultivation, which was at the peak of Spirit Enlightenment, suddenly dropped to the seventh level of Spirit Enlightenment.

Meanwhile, the Earth-Shattering Ape, which was at the fifth level of Spirit Enlightenment, suddenly soared to the peak of Spirit Enlightenment.

"While the master only lost two levels, the servant’s cultivation increased by four whole levels. This is why magical beasts willingly form contracts with humans." Hong Ling said.

"Can the servant forcefully take the master’s cultivation?" Lan Yingying asked.

"Yes, it’s possible, and it has happened before, albeit rarely."

"What typically leads to such an outcome?" Xi Meili asked next.

"In my experience, such incidents only occur when the beast is severely neglected or abused by its master. After all, forcefully taking their master’s cultivation significantly reduces the beast’s own longevity, so it doesn’t truly benefit much from doing so."

"What happens to the master?" Xi Meili asked.

"Most die shortly after having all of their cultivation forcefully removed. Some have managed to live a few more years, but I don’t know anyone who has managed to live a normal life afterward."

Lan Yingying then asked, "If the beast can take their master’s cultivation… can the master do the same to their beast?"

Hong Ling fell silent after hearing such a question.

With a heavy sigh, she spoke, "Yes, it’s also possible. However, it rarely happens because when a human takes our cultivation—even if it’s only slightly—our longevity will decrease."

"In cases where a human forcefully takes their beast’s cultivation," Hong Ling continued, her tone turning somber, "the human doesn’t lose their longevity. However, over time, they start losing their sanity, and if they do it too many times, they eventually become beast-like themselves."

She paused for a moment before adding, "That said, humans can get away with doing it a few times without immediate consequences. It’s not a fair system, but that’s just the way it works."
