A/N: I did a correction in chapter 16 where I said that Han Sen stabbed Qin Xuan's ass two months prior to the beginning of the story. Turns out it was actually three months, lmao.

***

Three weeks passed by and Qing Tian had maxed out his Mutant Geno Points a week ago and his Sacred-Geno points had gone up to 18. He tried convincing the siblings to go on paths with Sacred-Blood creatures on them, but they were too afraid.

Qing Tian had to eventually give up since he didn't want these two weak willed kids to be scared shitless by a Sacred-Blood creature that can kill them with a single hit.

They were nearing Glory Shelter and they were just a couple of minutes away from it.

"Thanks for training me these past few weeks," said Duan Lanying with a blush on her face.

Whilst training this young woman on how to fight, Qing Tian made sure she would remember how to fight.

He would create many erotic moments whenever he sparred and 'guided' her whenever he got to training her.

"No problem. Make sure to call me when you want some more guidance," said Qing Tian with a smirk on his face.

"Y-yes!" Duan Lanying blushed and looked away, staring right ahead to Glory Shelter.

"I would also like to thank you for training my sister. I have never seen her so determined to train or protect anyone, it's a little refreshing," said the young boy with a sigh.

Qing Tian nodded and stopped at the entrance of the shelter.

"Alright, this is where we go our separate ways," said Qing Tian with a small smile.

Qing Tian wanted to go in and use this chance to get closer to Duan Lanying and 'guide' her in her room, but he didn't want to change the near future. Where Han Sen fights to the death against Xue Longyan and gets Jadeskin.

"I can accompany you!" said Duan Lanying as she twisted her body on her Mount and pressed her breasts together.

'Tempting, but…'

"I can't bring you along with me," said Qing Tian with a shake of his head.

If Qing Tian brought her along, he will have to share the Sacred-Blood meat he gets and will have to explain how he's running into so many.

'It's best to come visit later after Han Sen fights against Xue Longyan,' thought Qing Tian.

After that day, Qing Tian will be allowed to move freely within the world. He won't have to worry about Han Sen's future, especially since he won't let Han Sen practice the entirety of Blood Pulse Sutra.

The Blood Pulse Sutra is a Qigong that strengthens the blood and over time also the genes and potential of the person practicing it. It even has a strengthening effect on the Hyper Geno Arts practiced.

The offspring of those who practice the Blood Pulse Sutra will inherit everything from the parent. Techniques learnt, strength, everything besides memories.

Qing Tian will tweak the Sutra for Han Sen and will remove the effect of transferring the strength and abilities to offspring.

"I'll see you in the future Duan Lanying, I hope to see you still here," said Qing Tian as he rode his Ruby Panther away.

"…"

Duan Lanying looked at Qing Tian's figure getting farther and farther away. A sad expression appeared on her face as she clenched her hand and placed it on her chest.

"We'll see him soon sister, we know where he's going, right?"

Seeing his sister's expression, Duan Chen felt a little sad as well. So he could only liven his sister's mood by making a promise with her.

Hearing her brother, Duan Lanying felt joyful in an instant and turned to her brother, "Really?!"

"Yeah! Where was it he wanted to go? Steel Armor Shelter?"

"Yeah, that's the place," said Duan Lanying with a bright smile.

The Duan siblings entered Glory Shelter and continued with their own objective.

…

After killing a large Scaled Pig, Qing Tian happily chewed on it's meat.

[+1 Sacred geno point.]

After eating a few more pounds of meat, Qing Tian finally felt full.

'I really need to get a technique that allows me to eat more,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the large mound of meat he still needed to eat.

"I don't want to feed this to the Sea Monkey, I need to test the meat of a Super creature," muttered Qing Tian. "If I had another Sacred pet beast soul, I would have fed him the Sacred-Blood meat."

Qing Tian was grabbing the meat and prepared to begin carrying it for the next few days.

It will take at most a week before Qing Tian could get to Steel Armor Shelter.

Bringing out two beast souls, Qing Tian looked at the recently gained one, the Scaled Pig's Beast soul, a Mount-type.

It was a Sacred-Blood Mount beast soul, but it's appearance was ugly and it's speed wasn't too fast. It was indeed faster than the Ruby Panther, but compared to other Mounts, it was really slow.

'Maybe…'

Qing Tian looked at the Sacred beast soul and the Mutant beast soul, wondering about something before smiling.

'Should I?'

Glancing around cautiously, Qing Tian sat down and pulled out the Nightmare Demon Pot.

Sitting down with a serious look on his face, Qing Tian threw in the Ruby Panther and refined it with the Scaled Pig.

And as Qing Tian expected, the Ruby Panther evolved and became Sacred-Blood.

'This is more efficient!' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the bigger Ruby Panther.

Previously, the Ruby Panther only had its fur that was Ruby-like. Now, the panther's eyes and fur were like literal crystals and in Ruby color.

Qing Tian quickly summoned the Ruby Panther and touched its fur, feeling how it had grown even softer than before.

The Ruby Panther was larger than before, closing in on the large size of an Elephant.

'Hm?'

Qing Tian also noticed something different about the Ruby Panther, it's eyes had a sort of glint in them.

'No way! It got smarter! If it becomes a Super creature, it will gain an aura and be capable of acting on its own if I don't order it around, sort of like Golden Growler,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the Ruby Panther with interest.

'Will it also gain a special ability?' thought Qing Tian with a smirk on his face.

Eee eee!

Hearing the Sea Monkey screech Qing Tian turned his attention to it, wondering what had caused it to screech.

"Hm?"

Qing Tian furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the blue monkey jumping on the meat.

"No, you can't have that meat, you're a test subject," said Qing Tian as he noticed the monkey's desire for the Sacred meat.

He felt bad for the monkey, so Qing Tian ended up unsummoning him, continuing without the Sea Monkey's presence until he finished the meat.

Which wasn't until five days later.

Eee!

The monkey moved around a bit angrily, amusing Qing Tian.

'Maybe I should teach him some tricks,' thought Qing Tian with an amused smile.

Qing Tian had traveled a lot of distance and had arrived at some mountains. There were hardly any low level creatures, most being mutant creatures and some Sacred creatures.

Before Qing Tian could continue enjoying his current mood with the Sea Monkey, Qing Tian felt his body go cold and his surroundings go quiet.

'Damn! What's going on?'

Qing Tian looked around in great alarm. He unsummoned both the Sea Monkey and the Ruby Panther, looking at his surroundings carefully.

'Where's the feeling coming from?'

Qing Tian could only stay still and listen for anything. Whatever made his body go cold was a creature that could kill him no matter what he did. Even if he used the Super Spear beast soul in his Sea of Consciousness.

THUMP!

Feeling the ground shake below his feet, Qing Tian began to slowly guess what it might be.

'Mother Golden Growler?' thought Qing Tian as he carefully walked around.

'Now that I think about it… I'm at the Jade Dragon Mountains.'

Qing Tian smiled wryly as he looked around and wondered how he didn't notice it before.

'I guess this is the difference between what's in words and what you can really see with your eyes,' thought Qing Tian.

THUMP!

The ground shook even harder and Qing Tian knew that he was getting closer to where Mother Golden Growler could be.

THUMP!

GRAAUUUU!

Vvmmmm!

Two distinct sounds were echoing through the mountains, one of Mother Golden Growler and the other an indistinct humming sound.

When Qing Tian finally found the mother Golden Growler, Qing Tian found her fighting against another Super Creature, a large hummingbird who's beak was spinning rapidly.

'There really are a ton of weird creatures,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the spinning beak of the large hummingbird drilling holes into the Golden Growler.

GRAU!

Mother Golden Growler yelled in pain as the hummingbird drilled a hole in its leg.

Qing Tian continued to sit still and watch, not wishing to get into a fight between two super creatures close to the peak.

His own fitness had just arrived at 22.4, a long distance away from 35-40, which is the current strength of these two super creatures nearing the peak of Super strength in the first Sanctuary.

"Luckily this isn't a fight between two Third Generation Super creatures," mumbled Qing Tian as he witness the Golden Growler get as small as a cat before jumping onto the hummingbird and biting into it.

Once mother Golden Growler sunk her teeth into the hummingbird's wing, Mother Golden Growler got huge once more and forcibly ripped off the bird's wing.

Screeech!

The hummingbird's beak stopped spinning and instead opened, letting out a large screech of pain.

Before the hummingbird could continue screeching in pain, mother Golden Growler bit off the hummingbird's head.

Mother Golden Growler ate the body of the hummingbird, but whether on purpose or not, mother Golden Growler dropped the hummingbird's life essence and walked away with a little limp.

"It's most likely not the same attribute as it's own," thought Qing Tian as he began to covet the hummingbird's life essence.

The only way creatures tend to get stronger, was through either eating something similar to their element, like say an elemental fruit like a Fiery Fruit which enhances the power of fire. It will only have a beneficial effect to the creatures with a fire element but it will be detrimental to other creatures.

'I've read in the novel that there are fruits in the sanctuaries with many effects, the most amazing and useful fruits being in the second God's Sanctuary and beyond. Maybe I can find some useful ones here in first sanctuary, especially with my wide array of knowledge on vegetation,' thought Qing Tian as he finally crept out of the shadows and took his first Life Essence in this world.

'The vegetation I have in my painting realm aren't really for this world, so I need to find some that can let me break through to the next sanctuary and help some of my future beast companions in the near future.'

A certain Angel slowly slipped into Qing Tian's mind when he thought about Beast companions.

Looking at the green Life Essence the size of a fist in his hand, Qing Tian couldn't help but break out into a quiet laughter.

"Ahahaha! I've only been here for two months and I'm so close to maxing out all my genes," said Qing Tian as he brought up the Life Essence to his face and to his dismay, licking it didn't make it into liquid or grant him any Super geno points.

Sighing, Qing Tian could only glance at the direction mother Golden Growler was going with a serious look.

'I need that Golden Growler to willingly give up her life essence.'

…

After pocketing the Life Essence, Qing Tian walked around Jade Dragon Mountains for a whole month. He killed 9 Sacred-Blood creatures, making his Sacred geno points max out.

His base fitness was now 17, his total fitness being 34.

Qing Tian didn't know if he was lucky or not, but he had received some good beast souls here at Jade Dragon Mountains.

A flying beast soul from a Diamond-Feathered Hawk, who's wings looked beautiful and feather's looked as if they were dipped in liquid diamond.

A shapeshifting beast soul from a Wrathful Wyrm, a type of dragonic serpent as big as a bus and as long as two buses.

And lastly, an armor beast soul from a Moonlight Lizard. It's armor was white in color and full-bodied, covering every single part of the wearer.
