There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 298 Ascending to Heaven

During the Eternal Night Calamity, Hao Chen took the Four-Faced Beast away from the Beast World to heal its wounds.

However, under Qiong Tian's deliberate guidance, Hao Chen's Dao Wo Shen transformed into a divine embryo within the Si Bu Xiang body.

Although the Four-Faced Beast recovered from its injuries, Hao Chen did not choose to let it return to the Beast World.

Instead, he chose to use one of the four unrecognizable creatures' horns and its bones and blood to create an avatar and send it back to the world of beasts.

As it turned out, Hao Chen's choice was correct. The Heavenly Court, coveting the fortune of the Four-Faced Beast and for other reasons, killed the Four-Faced Beast and framed Tian Lu and Bi Xie for it.

Then, the blood and bones of the Four-Faced Beast were injected into the body of a deer, making it Tianlu's Pixiu Heart Lock.

And this deer became a substitute for the four-legged creature, a creature that resembles nothing else.

The four-legged creature, because of its unique bone and blood, is spared the suffering of cultivation and can attain immortality, but its own bone and blood are constantly being eroded, and it perishes once every hundred years.

On this day, while the four-legged creature was slacking off in the shop, a bluebird suddenly flew towards him.

"Beep beep beep!"

"What's that sound?" The Qilin was so startled by the sound of the bluebird that it tumbled off the chair.

Upon seeing that it was a bluebird, the Qilin frowned slightly and took the bluebird to examine it with some displeasure.

"Hmm? The Heavenly Court wants me to go back? What's the matter?"

Upon learning that the Heavenly Court had granted him permission to ascend to Heaven, the Four-Faced Beast immediately reviewed recent events in its mind. After confirming that it had not violated any Heavenly Rules, it prepared to ascend.

The Bluebird, a communication bird assigned to the Four-Unlikes by the Heavenly Court, can not only act as a monitor but also make phone calls and send faxes.

In recent years, after upgrades, Qingniao has added video chat and data transfer functions.

Because a day in heaven is a year on earth, the Qilin was unsure how long it would stay in heaven, so it summoned Rabbit God and Tianlu to give them some instructions.

"Pipi, I'm going to heaven for a bit. You and Rabbit Lord keep an eye on the house!"

When Tianlu heard that the Four-Unlikes was going to fly to the sky, he immediately got excited: "Don't worry, Four-Unlikes, with me here, I guarantee that nothing in the shop will be missing."

The four-legged creature noticed Tianlu's fleeting excitement and immediately became a little worried. So it specially instructed Rabbit Master: "Rabbit Master, please keep an eye on Pipi. Don't let him eat the antiques in the shop or go into the warehouse."

"Don't worry, Sisi, I will take good care of them and won't let Pipi cause any trouble."

"Who do you think you are? I would never eat that stuff."

Tianlu kept telling the Four-Faced Beast to rest assured, but when he learned that the Four-Faced Beast would be gone for at least three or four days, he was secretly thrilled.

With the Qilin gone, he's the boss of the shop. He can eat whatever he wants without anyone bothering him, and he can even take the Qilin home to play with.

The four-legged creature, looking at the Rabbit Lord, didn't think he could control Tianlu, but the Heavenly Court was pressing him urgently, so he had no choice but to leave it to fate. He just hoped that the losses wouldn't be too great before he returned.

"I am leaving."

The four-legged creature waved its hand and then walked into the Bluebird's teleportation channel.

As the Qilin ascended to the Heavenly Court, an inconspicuous light suddenly flew into the teleportation channel and attached itself to the Qilin's shoulder.

Before long, the four-legged creature's gaze shifted, and it appeared in the Heavenly Court.

In front of the Qilin stood a deity dressed in a Taoist robe, radiating golden light. This deity was the Heavenly Venerable who had guided the Qilin to immortality in its memories.

After a brief period of dizziness from the teleportation channel, the Qilin immediately spotted the Celestial Venerable standing in front of it.

Then, the Qilin immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to the Celestial Venerable: "You're the one who wanted to see me. What's the matter?"

"Four-Unlikes, how have you been lately?"

As the Celestial Venerable spoke, he carefully observed the Qilin's reaction. Seeing that the Qilin showed no abnormalities, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Celestial Venerable inquired about his health, the Qilin truthfully replied, "Not good. Recently, all the bones in my body have been aching, and I don't know what's wrong."

When the Celestial Venerable heard the Four-Unlikes talking about the pain in its bones, he was not surprised, but rather seemed to take it as a common occurrence.

When the Qilin heard the Celestial Venerable inquire about his health, he guessed the reason why he had been summoned to Heaven.

However, the Qilin looked at the Celestial Venerable and asked, "You called me back this time, is it to cure my illness? How do you plan to cure me?"

The Celestial Venerable shook his head and took out a golden ring, waving it in front of the Qilin: "You don't need to worry about this. Everything will be alright once you wake up."

As the golden ring emitted bursts of golden light, the Qilin felt drowsy and its body went limp, causing it to faint.

When the Celestial Venerable saw that the Four-Faced Beast was unconscious, he kicked it. When the Four-Faced Beast did not react, he waved his hand and beckoned two Daoist boys to come over.

"You two carry this guy and come with me."

"Yes, Your Honor!"

After a series of twists and turns, the Celestial Venerable led the Four-Faced Beast to a room filled with various tools.

"After you put him down, go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone in."

"As ordered."

After the Taoist boy left, the Celestial Venerable walked up to the Four-Faced Beast and squatted down, reaching out to touch its arms, shoulders, chest, and legs.

"Luckily, we called him back in time. Otherwise, if it had been any later, this body would have collapsed, and the heart lock would have inevitably loosened."

While the Celestial Venerable was feeling fortunate, he suddenly realized that he had been so focused on calling the Qilin (a mythical creature) to heaven that he had forgotten where the replacement bones were.

Fortunately, the Celestial Venerable finally found the bones. However, just as the Celestial Venerable was about to replace the bones of the Four-Faced Beast, he suddenly froze, realizing that there were other people in the room.

Hao Chen originally only planned to follow the Qilin to heaven to observe secretly, but after discovering that the Heavenly Venerable was preparing to change the Qilin's bones, Hao Chen couldn't help but show himself.

"Who are you? Do you know that trespassing in the Heavenly Court is a serious crime!"

As the Celestial Venerable spoke, his hand, hidden beneath his Taoist robe, secretly formed a hand seal.

However, Hao Chen saw all of this and knew that the other party was asking for help, but he did not stop them. He even hoped that the Heavenly Emperor would come.

Hao Chen bypassed the Celestial Venerable and walked towards the Qilin, but he was thinking about what the Qilin had said earlier.

If he hadn't heard the Four-Unlikes complain of pain in its bones, he would have forgotten that the Four-Unlikes was originally just a poor little deer in the forest being used by the Heavenly Court.

"A once-in-a-century event, how many times have you, the Four-Unlikes, endured such suffering?"

Hao Chen glanced at the unconscious Qilin on the ground, then turned to look at the tools all over the room, as well as the Qilin bone in the Heavenly Venerable's hand.

Gradually, a hint of ferocity flashed in Hao Chen's eyes. He raised his hand and shattered the bone that the Celestial Venerable was about to place inside the Qilin's body.

"You...you..." The Celestial Venerable stared in shock at the Qilin bone, which had turned to dust.

You should know that these Qilin bones were specially cultivated by them in order to replace the useless bones on the Qilin, so as to protect the Pixiu Heart Lock from making mistakes.

Furthermore, it takes a hundred years to cultivate a set of Qilin bones, and this set of Qilin bones just happened to be a newly matured set.

The thought that the Qilin's lack of bone replacement caused the Pixiu's heart lock to loosen, leading to the beast regaining its memories...

The thought of the possible consequences made the Celestial Venerable tremble, and he wished he could kill the person who had damaged the Qilin bone in front of him.

However, before the Celestial Venerable could make a move, Hao Chen moved and instantly tore through space, appearing in front of the Celestial Venerable. "You want to kill me?! Unfortunately, you are not qualified. Let Hao Tian come to see me."

"So fast!!!" Cold sweat poured down the Celestial Venerable's forehead. The other party's entire body was telling him that if he dared to take another step, he would die.

At the same time, the Celestial Venerable also realized that the other party not only knew his leader, but even dared to call his leader by his full name, which meant that he was not someone to be trifled with.

In an instant, the Celestial Venerable felt as if he had experienced a life-or-death ordeal, a feeling he had never experienced in his thousands of years.

Just as the Celestial Venerable was about to collapse, his leader appeared.

Haotian pushed open the door and strode in, but the Daoist boy who had been assigned by the Heavenly Venerable to guard the door was nowhere to be seen, clearly having been dismissed by Haotian.

"Haochen, you've caused trouble in my Heavenly Court again." Haotian looked at Haochen, his anger reaching its peak, but he had to suppress it.

When Hao Chen saw Hao Tian appear, he shifted his gaze from the Heavenly Venerable and stared straight at Hao Tian, ​​saying in a cold voice, "It seems that from the beginning, it wasn't me who caused trouble, but you who have been provoking me all along."

Haotian frowned, as if he hadn't heard Haochen's words, and asked in return, "What brings you here this time?"

"For him." Hao Chen pointed to the four-legged creature on the ground and said, "He's under my protection, so don't try to take advantage of him again."

Before Haotian could speak, Haochen continued, "Also, I want you to lift the warrant for Bixie's arrest."

"Also, I will unlock the Pixiu's heart lock, so don't mess with me."
