The Demonic Forest

Before the sun had even risen, the group of 6 flew across the morning sky towards the north.

Alex looked at the 4 humans he flew with, and the slug that was also with them. "I thought senior was the sect's sacred beast. Shouldn't he be in the sect in case it needs protection?" he asked.

He sat on the flying ship of the Blue Spring sect, along with the others who were all either late into the Saint Core realm or were in the Saint Soul realm.

The slug looked at him, but it did not speak at all.

"My friend here isn't actually very strong in combat," the sect master said. "That is not the reason why he is the sect's Sacred Beast."

"Oh? What is it then?" Alex asked curiously.

"Seagem is a Blue Spring slug, the beast our sect is named after. He is a rare kind of beast that is naturally capable of following Qi and aura. He can see where it is concentrated, and where it is not."
