Chapter 65

After being thoroughly beaten by Li Feng, Long Aotian finally revealed his true identity.

"Are you saying you are the spirit of this jade amulet space?" Li Feng's face was full of suspicion. "You're not lying to me again, are you?!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Long Aotian showed disdain for Li Feng's suspicion with a proud expression. "Foolish mortal..."

"Bang!" A fist hit Long Aotian's other eye socket again. Li Feng retracted his fist and said coolly, "Speak in human language!"

"Master of this sect..." Long Aotian started to say.

"Bang!" Li Feng's fist hit Long Aotian's eye socket again. "Speak in human language!"

"Little one..."

"Bang!"

Long Aotian covered his face, full of委屈 (grievance): "Why did you hit me again! I'm already speaking in human language!"

"Sorry," Li Feng waved his hand, showing no real remorse, "I just got carried away!"

"..." With two black eyes the size of fists, Long Aotian finally understood what it meant to be a scholar facing soldiers, where reason cannot be reasoned with!

Long Aotian said with grievance: "I really am not lying to you! I really am the spirit of this jade amulet space!"

Seeing Long Aotian's sincere expression, Li Feng couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this jade amulet space something the old Taoist opened before he ascended?"

"Ha!" Hearing Li Feng's words, Long Aotian immediately sneered, "Foolish mortal..."

Seeing Li Feng's fist raise again, Long Aotian hurriedly stopped his provocative words and said, "This jade amulet space has existed for over ten thousand years, so it's impossible for it to be left by that little Taoist! He merely used this jade amulet space to leave his divine consciousness avatar!"

"Ah, I see!" Li Feng suddenly understood, but when he heard Long Aotian call the old Taoist "little Taoist," he couldn't help but feel curious. After all, the old Taoist was a figure from the end of the Qin Dynasty, over two thousand years old by the time he ascended. But from Long Aotian's tone, did he exist even earlier?

"Haha, what? Surprised, aren't you?" Long Aotian seemed to see through Li Feng's confusion. "Let me tell you the truth! My real identity is actually the founding master of your Beast Taming Sect..."

"Bang!" Without a word, Li Feng punched Long Aotian in the face again!

"Ouch! Why did you hit me again?!" Long Aotian covered his face and crouched down. "At least let me finish speaking before you hit me!"

Li Feng said coolly, "Aren't you going to say you are the founding master of our Beast Taming Sect?"

"I'm not that old monster!" Long Aotian said irritably, covering his face.

Long Aotian was not the founding master of the Beast Taming Sect. In fact, he was a byproduct of the founding master's accidental creation when he was refining the jade amulet!

After listening to Long Aotian's story, Li Feng finally realized he had misunderstood him. Seeing the other side of the face in pain, Li Feng felt a bit embarrassed.

Li Feng asked, "Since you are the spirit of the jade amulet space, why did you pretend to be the old Taoist and force me to sign that indenture contract?"

Hearing Li Feng mention this, Long Aotian, still disguised as the old Taoist, showed a depressed expression, seemingly reluctant to answer. But in the end, he told the whole story.

Since the old Taoist ascended, Long Aotian had lived a very comfortable life over the past hundred years. Although he, as the spirit of the jade amulet, had no right to designate a successor for the Beast Taming Sect, he could freely choose wearers. Over the past hundred years, he had seen the various繁华 (prosperities) and寂寥 (solitudes) of the secular world with several generations of wearers.

A few years ago, due to the death of the previous wearer, Long Aotian became somewhat tired of the chaotic world and chose to sleep.

During Long Aotian's sleep, Li Feng successfully entered university. To bless her child, Li Feng's mother specially went to a temple to obtain this jade amulet, which was said to have been consecrated by a high-ranking monk, and gave it to Li Feng.

As a result, an accident led to Li Feng gaining the recognition of the old Taoist's divine consciousness and becoming the new master of the Beast Taming Sect. The jade amulet, as the sect's symbol, also recognized him and merged into his body!

Long Aotian, who was sleeping, was unaware of these changes. It was only when Li Feng used the blood refinement technique from the Beast Taming Scripture to save a squirrel that Long Aotian was awakened by the familiar true qi fluctuations and came out of his sleep.

At first, Long Aotian thought the annoying little Taoist had been kicked out of the immortal realm and had come back to cause trouble. But when he discovered that the one using the blood refinement technique was a strange young man who had gained the old Taoist's recognition and become the master of the jade amulet, Long Aotian was thoroughly depressed!

Because this meant that as the spirit of the jade amulet space, Long Aotian was now under Li Feng's control and had to obey him.

This made Long Aotian, who had been used to a free and easy life, extremely depressed. So he decided to take advantage of Li Feng's low state after using the blood refinement technique to use the jade amulet space to create thunderous sounds to shock Li Feng's mind, hoping that Li Feng would automatically解除 (dissolve) the master recognition contract in a moment of mental weakness.

That so-called indenture contract was actually a mental imprint to make Li Feng dissolve the master recognition contract!

After saying all this, Long Aotian said dejectedly, "Why did you think I wasn't the old Taoist? You've never even met him. Aren't you afraid I'll make you disappear in a fit of anger?"

"There are two reasons," Li Feng smiled and held up two fingers.

"First, the divine consciousness the master left before ascending once said that if one day a very annoying guy comes to me and pretends to be the master of the Beast Taming Sect, I shouldn't hesitate to beat him to death!"

"Second," Li Feng paused, a smile appearing on his face, "the name Long Aotian is just too annoying! I held back for a long time, but I couldn't resist it in the end! Sorry!"

"That damned little Taoist! He even tricked me after ascending!" After hearing Li Feng's explanation, Long Aotian finally realized that Li Feng had never been fooled by him from the beginning!

It was all the fault of that stinky Taoist! He had even left a divine consciousness to meddle in his affairs after ascending! Why didn't that useless heavenly tribulation kill that bastard!

"But that's not right!" Long Aotian suddenly thought of something and asked with confusion, "Why do you think the name Long Aotian is annoying? Five years ago, this name was very cool! Many protagonists in novels would scare countless enemies just by saying this name!"

"Ah! You read web novels, don't you?" Li Feng shook his head, saying with a hint of regret, "I'm sorry to tell you, but the name Long Aotian is now outdated!"

Long Aotian: "..."
