Can Your Cat Do Somersaults

"Care to visit the Holy Land?"

"Yes."

"Hmm..." Ye Chuan put on a thoughtful look. Visit the Holy Land?

"Can your cat do a somersault?"

Ji Lingxuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly nodded with a faint smile, "That, we do have."

"In that case..."

A faint, almost imperceptible strand of golden spiritual sense condensed at the tip of Ye Chuan's finger. With a light flick, the spiritual sense blended into the ambient spiritual energy of Profound Crystal City like a speck of dust.

This seed of spiritual sense seemed weak, but it was intimately connected to his divine soul. Should the stronghold face any crisis, he would sense it instantly even if he were thousands of miles away.

After all, who knew if the Phoenix Tree Holy Land would come to cause trouble while he was away at the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

Having done all this, Ye Chuan nodded to the expectant Ji Lingxuan:

"Let's go. It's a good opportunity to admire the majesty of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land."

"Let's go." The smile in Ji Lingxuan's eyes deepened.

Before she even finished speaking, a low and distant hum echoed from above the clouds. A dazzling golden light broke through the cloud layer and slowly descended.

Ye Chuan stepped out of the blacksmith shop and looked up, only to see a completely golden flying boat hovering in mid-air. The hull flowed with a faint purple-gold luster, and every inch of it was engraved with complex spiritual patterns.

The Holy Land was indeed wealthy. Although it wasn't Ye Chuan's first time seeing such a thing, he felt that if he could take this gold back to the real world, it could probably be exchanged for a massive sum of money.

"Master, please."

With a flicker of his figure, Ye Chuan stepped onto the divine boat. The texture beneath his feet was as warm and smooth as jade. As the flying boat started, Profound Crystal City outside the window gradually shrank, eventually turning into a faint shadow beneath them before being swallowed by endless clouds.

The divine boat traveled at an extreme speed, breaking through layers of clouds, and soon arrived in the skies above the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.

"So this is the Absolute Beginning Holy Land?" Ye Chuan looked down at the rolling mountain ranges. The peaks towered into the clouds, and mist swirled among them. Spiritual energy cascaded down from the clouds like waterfalls, converging into crystal-clear spiritual veins that wound through the mountains.

Colored glaze formed the roof tiles, with upturned eaves and elaborately carved beams and painted pillars. Above the main hall hung a massive plaque with gilded characters, exuding an ancient and profound aura.

Ji Lingxuan stood beside Ye Chuan, a hint of pride in her tone.

"My Holy Land has a legacy spanning eons. With our profound foundation, we guard the peace of the Divine Continent."

After disembarking from the flying boat, Ye Chuan looked around.

It truly was a Holy Land; its level of luxury was something the Jade Void Sect could not even begin to compare with.

Perhaps that Phoenix Tree Holy Land was quite beautiful too.

Just in case—

If he ever had the chance to take down the Phoenix Tree Holy Land, could the status of Holy Land be given to the Jade Void Sect?

Ji Lingxuan had no idea what Ye Chuan was thinking. The moment they stepped off the flying boat, she waved her hand toward the side.

Soon, a palm-sized, snow-white kitten leapt out from nearby and landed in front of Ye Chuan and the others. Its amber eyes were lively and adorable, and it looked extremely docile.

Finally, the kitten pounced into Ji Lingxuan's arms, acting affectionately.

Ye Chuan could sense that this little white cat possessed an extraordinary aura; at the very least, its cultivation realm was quite high. "Is this your pet?"

"It is the Guardian Beast of the Holy Land."

Ji Lingxuan gently set the kitten down and softly commanded, "Do a somersault."

As soon as the words fell, the snow-white kitten arched its back, hissed, and directly activated its Spinosaurus form.

In a mere instant, the palm-sized kitten transformed into a massive white tiger hundreds of meters long. It was completely snow-white, its fur glistening like colored glaze, and its limbs were thick and powerful.

The giant white tiger shook its head in a remarkably human-like manner, then bent its limbs. Its colossal body actually performed an agile somersault. As the hundreds-of-meters-long body flipped and landed, the ground itself seemed to tremble.

Wait, your family actually has a cat that does somersaults?

After finishing the somersault, the white tiger slowly shrank back into that docile and adorable kitten.

Ji Lingxuan laughed heartily, "Please excuse the display. This little fellow loves to fool around like this on a normal day. Relying on its status as the Guardian Beast, it always likes to pretend to be a kitten and act cute."

Ye Chuan reached out to pet the kitten, but the little guy hissed at him, making Ye Chuan silently withdraw his hand. "It certainly is full of spirit."

Walking forward, they came to a massive, smooth plaza. Lining both sides of the plaza were dozens of giant stone statues, all depicting powerful figures from the Holy Land's ancient era. Their expressions were majestic, and their imposing auras were magnificent.

Ji Lingxuan led Ye Chuan toward the depths of the central palace, speaking solemnly as they walked:

"Master, our Absolute Beginning Holy Land is different from other sects; it is extremely unique. The core area of the Holy Land is enveloped by the Absolute Beginning Killing Array, passed down from ancient times. This array possesses boundless power; it can channel the forces of heaven and earth and lock onto the divine souls of all living things."

"Without a Holy Land token, anyone who steps into the array's area of effect will be instantly targeted. With just a single thought from the Sect Master, their divine soul would be destroyed, and they would be reduced to ashes."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived before an invisible barrier. Faint golden light circulated across the barrier, and complex array patterns could vaguely be seen floating within it. A chilling murderous intent quietly permeated the air.

Ye Chuan took a look but didn't feel anything in particular.

Ji Lingxuan stopped and raised her hand to take the Holy Land token from her robes, saying:

"Wait a moment, I will take out the token to mask your aura, lest you be targeted by the array..."

But before she could finish speaking, Ji Lingxuan's movements suddenly froze.

She watched as Ye Chuan stepped forward, walking straight into that invisible barrier. The moment the golden light on the barrier touched Ye Chuan, it quietly dissipated, and those complex array patterns became docile.

Not only did they fail to lock onto Ye Chuan, but they actively parted around his figure, as if Ye Chuan naturally belonged to this array, or perhaps as if his very existence transcended the rules of the array itself.

"How... how is this possible?!" Ji Lingxuan was stunned. She quickly caught up, her face full of shock.

"Master, you... you actually weren't targeted by the array? This Absolute Beginning Killing Array is an ancient grand formation. Even if an ancient divine beast were to step inside, it would be instantly locked onto. How could you..."

Even as a highly knowledgeable Holy Son, she truly could not understand. The scene before her had completely shattered her understanding of the world.

Ye Chuan glanced back at her, his expression remaining as calm as ever.

Arrays, laws of nature.

Just a piece of cake.

Things like this, as long as they didn't alter the fundamental laws of heaven and earth, naturally couldn't lock onto someone like him who possessed the Primal Chaos Imperishable Body.

"Perhaps this array feels that I harbor no ill intent toward the Holy Land," Ye Chuan didn't explain much, merely offering a casual remark before continuing toward the core area of the Holy Land.

Ji Lingxuan stood rooted to the spot. Of course, she didn't believe that nonsense about ill intent. Looking at Ye Chuan's retreating back, the emotion in her eyes gradually turned into deep curiosity—she felt more and more that this Ye Chuan before her was far from as simple as he appeared.

It was highly likely that he came from the Upper Realm!

"Master, this way."

"Alright, coming." Ye Chuan withdrew his gaze and followed Ji Lingxuan.
