Contracted Spirit Beast, Did You Just Kidnap the Netherworld Empress?

In this great age of immortal cultivation, anyone can awaken a fated spirit beast before the Heavenly Dao Stone.

At the awakening ceremony, the sect's prodigies contract ancient Thunder Pengs and Netherworld Sparrows, stirring signs of wonder across heaven and earth.

Jiang Che, however, contracts only a white-haired loli with tiny dragon horns, less than 1.2 meters tall and flat-chested. His fellow disciples mock him as the sect's most useless beast tamer, fit only for show.

Facing their jeers, Jiang Che quietly opens his companion panel:

[Name: Ye Liuli]

[True Name: Netherworld Absolute Heaven Demon Emperor, foremost of the Ten Great Calamities of the Heavens]

[Status: Injured while undergoing the Divine Tribulation, in Nirvana slumber, bound by an accidental contract with the world]

[Combat Power: Once unsealed, can destroy a myriad of worlds with a casual gesture]

Bound to the [Supreme Symbiosis System], Jiang Che gets it: when his spirit beast cultivates, he gains experience; when it kills enemies, he gains divine abilities.

So why bother cultivating immortality? He might as well slack off!

The haughty Demon Venerable: “Shameless mortal, you think you're worthy of being my master? Once I recover even one ten-thousandth of my power, I'll rip out your soul and refine it!”

Jiang Che casually pulls out a skewer of barbecue brushed with primordial dragon marrow. “Open wide.”

The Demon Venerable: “Mmm... delicious! Once I finish this skewer, I'll kill you for sure!”

A prodigy comes to pick a fight: “Jiang Che, get out here and meet your death!”

The Demon Venerable smacks the prodigy a hundred meters into the ground with one backhanded slap, then surveys the crowd with crimson eyes. “Who dares disturb my master while he's having afternoon tea? Get lost!”

Lounging in a grand armchair, Jiang Che sighs. “Ah, being invincible is so boring.”
