I Married My Spirit Beast Through a Contract, and Was Stunned When It Took Human Form

Since ancient times, cultivation has followed an ironclad rule: mortals must draw spiritual energy into their bodies before the age of fourteen to break through the limits of cultivation. Once they pass that age, their innate spiritual energy dissipates, their meridians harden permanently, and their spiritual apertures close. They can never again set foot on the path to immortality.

Cultivators across the land diligently pursue the seven realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, Void Refining, and Body Integration.

Yet the boy Tu Nan is nearly fourteen and still has no hope of drawing in Qi.

In the southwest of Zhongzhou lies a perilous region known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is shrouded in darkness year-round and filled with bone-eating poisonous miasma.

Mount Aiyu is the most dangerous burial ground in this desolate region, a place where souls go to die.

One day, deep in Mount Aiyu, several factions joined forces to hunt down a Black Coffin Spirit Serpent. Tu Nan lurked nearby, taking advantage of the chaos, and managed to seize the serpent’s innate beast core.

Little did he know that this beast core belonged to the world-destroying Divine Sovereign Xiangliu, and contained a remnant of its original soul!

The core’s overwhelming malice instantly devoured the boy’s mind, leaving his life hanging by a thread.

Fortunately, the spirit hawk that had accompanied him for years possessed an ancient bloodline, as well as the Netherworld Ghostflame as its innate divine fire. One of the Ten Great Primordial Divine Flames, it was the perfect counter to spirits and ghosts.

The spirit hawk burned its vital essence and formed a blood pact of life and death, using a wisp of its innate divine flame to forcibly suppress Xiangliu’s remnant soul!

Divine fire suppresses the remnant soul, and a blood pact binds them together. From that moment on, the fallen boy abandons the seven realms of the human path forever and embarks on a defiant journey of endless battles against the heavens!
