<h4>Chapter 49: -49- Neb</h4>
Soon, Ss was back in the main hall, ready to quickly go back to the inheritance realm to let his family know that they had made it and would soon be leaving for the outside world.
"Senior?" Ss called out, and a momentter, the old spirit was standing next to him.
"Senior, I''d like to ask you to allow me to enter the inheritance realm once again so that I can speak to my family. After that, I''ll be ready to enter the outside world," Ss said.
The old man nodded his head, but before he could speak, Thea jumped into the conversation, "Ss, don''t forget about the spatial lynx... She said that if I could bring her out of this ce, she would be my beastpanion, so I''d like to see if she still feels that way... An emperor beast as a beastpanion would surely be helpful."
Ss nodded, "I''ll go and ask her before Ie back."
"Thanks," Thea said.
"Alright, is that it?" the old man asked.
"Yes, Senior... So how does this work?" Ss asked.
The old man then pulled out a small talisman and tossed it over to Ss.
"Bind this, and you will be able to enter and exit the inheritance realm at will," the old man said with a smile.
Ss then sent his qi into the talisman to bind it, and soon he discovered that he could sense the entire inheritance realm—every square inch of the ce. He could see his Armstrong n, Thea''s Redstone n, his parents, and everyone else inside the inheritance realm.
But that wasn''t the most important part... He could see into the outside world. He could only see so far, but it was there. All he had to do was will it, and he would finally leave this small inheritance realm and enter the real world.
"Wow," Ss muttered in astonishment.
"But before you go, I want you to have this," the old man said as he handed Ss arge and thick manual.
"What is this?" Ss asked.
The old man just smiled.
Ss looked down at the manual and read the title:
<i>''</i>Heavenly Transformation<i>''</i>
"What... I thought we would only gain this after reaching Revolving Core in both qi and body cultivation?" Ss asked.
"Well, you''ve already got the ability, so I see no reason to hold it back from you... And while you''re going to your n, you can leave it there for them to learn and master... It should help protect them while you''re away," the old man said.
"Really? I can share this divine ability with others?" Ss asked. He had figured that he and Kai wouldn''t be able to share the three divine abilities with other people.
The small child then gave off a smallugh, "Ha! That is the most basic of divine abilities, so of course ourte master wouldn''t mind if you shared it with anyone. But the next two abilities you get? Hmph, don''t expect the same..."
Ss nodded his head in understanding, "Thank you, Senior." He quickly thanked the old man. He knew that the old man didn''t have to give him this manual, and he likely only did it because he had a good impression of Ss. So not only did he need to keep up that good impression, but he was genuinely grateful for everything the old spirit had done for him so far.
"It was nothing," the old man said.
Ss then turned his attention to Thea and Red, "Thea, Red, hurry ande learn this divine ability. Then I''ll take my leave so we can enter the wider world."
"Thanks," they both quickly said.
***
Several hourster, both Thea and Red had memorized the divine ability, and now Ss was about to leave the pagoda.
He sent his mind into the inheritance realm and willed himself to teleport to his Armstrong n.
A momentter, he was standing at the front door of his parents'' house.
"Knock." "Knock."
He quickly knocked twice, then entered.
"Mom, Dad, I''m back..." he yelled.
***
After a very emotional reunion and several hours of talk where Ss first exined that he, Thea, and the rest had all made it and were perfectly fine, he gave his parents the divine ability manual ''Heavenly Transformation.''
Ss didn''t exin how he got the ability, just saying he acquired it by luck, but he expressed how he wanted this to be given to his Armstrong n and Thea''s Redstone n so that they would be stronger and able to better protect themselves.
Charles, upon seeing the divine ability manual, was so happy he even started to tear up. With this divine ability, his n, along with the Redstone n, who were linked by Ss and Thea, would be more than strong enough to protect themselves against even the strongest ns in this inheritance realm.
While they couldn''t act as they pleased, they were more than capable of protecting themselves.
Soon, though, it was time to go, and after an emotional family hug, Ss was finally headed toward the spatial lynx.
***
Ss, now with the talisman, could easily find the spatial lynx and was able to teleport straight to her location.
"Hmm?" The spatial lynx raised her head in confusion. How did this human appear right before her? Could he have mastered the art of teleportation?
"Hey," Ss said to his old friend.
"Can you teleport now?" the beast asked. The beast knew that Ss was talented for a human, but she didn''t think that he coulde close to touching herprehensions when it came to space, so how could he have alreadyprehended a spatial dao?
"Nope," Ss said.
"Then how?" the beast asked.
"I''ll exin thatter, but first, do you remember what you told Thea? You said if she could lead you out of this ce, you would be willing to be her beastpanion..." Ss said.
The beast nodded, "Yes, I remember."
"Well, do you n to stick to that statement?" Ss said with a smile.
The beast scoffed, "What... Do you two n to challenge the battle pagoda? I have no interest in losing my life anytime soon... I might challenge it one day once I''m stronger, but now... I''m not fully confident."
"What if I told you we''ve already passed the trials... All you have to do is agree to be Thea''s beastpanion, and I promise I''ll take you out of this realm," Ss said.
The beast was stunned and gave Ss a close look. Could he be telling the truth?
Not having anything to lose, she said, "Can you prove it?"
"So, is that a yes? Will you be Thea''s beastpanion?" Ss asked once again.
The beast quickly nodded, "Yes, if you can get me out of this small ce, I''ll agree to be her beastpanion."
"Good, then don''t resist." A momentter, Ss teleported himself and the spatial lynx into the main hall of the pagoda.
Ss and the spatial lynx now stood in the main hall next to Thea and Red.
The spatial lynx quickly put her guard up and began to look around.
"Where is this ce?" she asked.
"This is the main hall of the pagoda," Ss exined.
"While you can''t gain anything from this pagoda, you will be allowed to leave as long as you ept to be either mine or Thea''s beastpanion," Ss said.
The beast nodded her head, "Fine."
She then looked to Thea, "If you''re still willing."
Thea quickly nodded her head.
A few momentster, they hadpleted the bond of equals, and Thea and the spatial lynx were officially spiritually connected.
<i>"Can you hear me?"</i> Thea sent to the spatial lynx.
<i>"Yes, I can,"</i> the spatial lynx answered.
"Good," Thea said with a beaming smile.
"So, what''s your name? Do you have one?" Thea asked.
"No, I''ve never been given a human name... I will pick one myself... Hmm... I think my name will be Neb... Yes, Neb," Neb said.
Thea smiled, "Well, it''s an honor to have you as my beastpanion, Neb."
Neb then transformed into her human form. She was around Thea''s height with long dirty blonde hair, and she wore a white robe.
"Here," Thea said as she handed Neb a small bag.
"What''s this?" she asked.
"This is a couple of spirit stones for you to rank up to Early Revolving Core... But make sure you don''t go past that," Thea said.
"Really?" Neb said with widened eyes. She had only been Thea''s beastpanion for a few moments, and she was already being given such a gift.
Thea nodded.
"Thank you," Neb quickly sat down in a lotus position and started her rank up to a rank 3 Disciple.
A little whileter, she had done it, and she was now an Early Revolving Core qi cultivator and ate Transcendent body cultivator.
