Amidst the darkness and storm, its presence was so striking.
Golden Yuanbao had successfully evolved.
It had changed a lot now, and its increased size was the least significant of these changes.
The three purplish-red tail feathers on its head were joined together, forming a well-arranged protruding structure, with the tips deepening in color to a purplish-gold.
It looked like a magnificent crown.
Purplish-gold patterns also appeared around its eyes.
Its wings also changed very noticeably.
Firstly, the two wings were divided into two parts; the feathers closer to the back beca more slender and dense, each one like a sharp short sword.
They were still a brilliant and dazzling gold.
The edges, however, turned into long, wheat-like feathers, and their color gradually changed from gold to black, although the black part was not much, almost only the small tuft at the very bottom.
But it gave Golden Yuanbao an overall noble and mysterious aura.
The biggest change, however, was its tail.
Golden Yuanbao's original tail was just a short wisp, barely enough to conceal a certain physiological organ.
But now, four slender, black, chain-like tail feathers, about two ters long, had grown on its rump.
At first glance, it looked a bit like the legendary phoenix tail.
But the bottom of the phoenix tail has a peacock pattern, while on Golden Yuanbao, the black feathers are inlaid with golden rhomboid gems.
They were real gems, and they would glow when lightning struck.
It made one want to pluck them off and keep them privately.
"Lei Lei!"
The large bird landed steadily in front of Mingxi; its standing height was now one and a half ters, about the sa height as Mingxi.
Putting aside Golden Yuanbao's appearance for now, just the dominant aura on its body, as if it could split the sky and crack the earth, was stronger than all the Advanced Level Pet Space she had seen before.
Yes, even stronger than the dragon-type Saisaimoka!
"Lei!"
It called out again, spreading one wing over her head to shield her from the continuously falling rain.
Its beautiful blood-agate eyes were full of disapproval.
Accusing her of not coming out in the rain.
Although there were great changes, it was indeed Golden Yuanbao.
The evolution of Transcendent creatures was truly miraculously incredible.
It was simply like a magic trick where a person transforms.
Seeing a Transcendent creature evolve for the first ti, Mingxi felt like she had watched a fantasy wuxia movie; she raised her hand and touched Golden Yuanbao's drooping wheat-like feathers.
This layer of gradient black long fur was, to be honest, quite beautiful, enchanting, mysterious, and noble.
Even when soaked by the rain, these feathers remained exceptionally soft, like cotton.
"Golden Yuanbao, do you know your current species na?"
There was no precedent for the third stage evolution of the Thunder Demon Bird, so of course, no one knew what its evolved form was called.
"Lei."
Golden Yuanbao shook its head, Xiao Ye also didn't know.
It felt that it was sowhat different from its kin.
Alright, it seems they would have to rely on the Ti Realm.
With Golden Yuanbao successfully evolving to Advanced Level, a heavy burden on Mingxi's mind was mostly lifted; the next step was how to evolve to General-level or even higher.
But they had already proven with facts that the Thunder Demon Bird's evolution chain was simply too normal!
"Golden Yuanbao, your current size won't fit into the mountain crevice, so why don't you temporarily return to the Pet Space?"
Mingxi walked back into the rock crevice, but with Golden Yuanbao's current size, it would be too difficult for it to co back in.
"Lei."
It's fine, Xiao Ye likes stormy weather.
It definitely wouldn't return to the Pet Space; if its Beast Tars encountered danger, it could react in ti if it stayed here.
Little Silver Flower was completely unreliable.
Mingxi sowhat understood Golden Yuanbao's thoughts and didn't force it; this kind of thunderstorm weather was indeed suitable for its cultivation.
Transcendent creatures should not be hard by rain.
Mingxi checked the ti again; it was already half past seven in the evening, without her noticing.
Less than an hour and a half left until nine o'clock.
Thinking of the greatly reduced reward duration, Mingxi suppressed the desire to imdiately enter the Ti Realm to test Golden Yuanbao.
She would wait until nine; no rush, she could hold steady.
She took out a towel and began to wipe the rain off herself.
Just then, Little Silver Flower flew in front of her, flapping its wings, and hugged her face with its short toes.
It blinked its pink eyes and called out sweetly.
"Luo Luo."
"Luo Luo."
Sister, evolution is so cool.
I want to evolve too!
Mingxi t its big pink eyes, which held only pure curiosity and expectation.
It wasn't stimulated by Golden Yuanbao's increased strength, but rather because evolution was so cool.
Mingxi was speechless at this reason.
She said seriously, "Your situation is quite special; you need to absorb enough Rule Power to evolve, so don't worry, there will be bread, and there will be evolution."
She just didn't know how much Rule Power Little Silver Flower would need to evolve from Elentary to Interdiate.
Was the Rule Power Golden Yuanbao obtained from this evolution enough for it to evolve to Interdiate?
She would have to ask Guangguang later.
Little Silver Flower nodded with a slight regret.
Yes, it hadn't hatched for ten thousand years precisely because its evolution conditions were too difficult to et.
So it had been waiting for an opportunity.
Then it sensed her.
It also finally didn't have to be lonely and trapped in its eggshell, spending long and boring years.
Mingxi stroked its head, her expression gentle.
Golden Yuanbao watched them silently, its body pressed tightly against the crevice, blocking the torrential rain outside without a single drop.
The Ice Soul Lynx, which had been quietly staying aside, watched the harmonious and warm interaction between the person and the two beasts, and a hint of envy flashed in its ice-blue eyes.
At this mont, a black hole suddenly appeared behind Mingxi.
Golden Yuanbao, facing the black hole, noticed it first and quickly called out to alert Mingxi.
Mingxi looked over and imdiately knew what was happening.
It was the Secret Realm passage.
This Secret Realm was about to close.
Mingxi felt relieved; thankfully, she didn't have to be truly trapped here for ten days or half a month.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that when she returned, she would be greeted by Grandma's urn.
"We have to go."
Mingxi squatted down, face to face with the Ice Soul Lynx, "Thank you for taking care of these past two days."
She reached out and stroked its fluffy head.
It was a pity that wild Transcendent creatures within the Secret Realm could not enter the passage, otherwise Mingxi would have wanted to take this little fellow with her.
She sighed softly and took out all the remaining healing potions and energy potions.
"These are also for you; drinking this can heal wounds, and this can quickly restore consud energy."
The Ice Soul Lynx didn't speak, just stared at her blankly, its clear, icy eyes shimring with light.
Mingxi helped it put the potions into a sack nearby, and finally said, "Goodbye, little one."
"May all your wishes co true, and your path be smooth."
No longer lonely and helpless, and no longer surrounded by malice.
The Ice Soul Lynx still said nothing.
Mingxi finally waved goodbye to it, then recalled Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower to the Pet Space, put on her backpack from when she arrived, took out her flashlight, and stepped into the passage.
She didn't look back.
"Ding-a-ling."
"Ding-a-ling."
In ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) a daze, Mingxi seed to hear a lodious yet sorrowful ringing.
As if soone was seeing her off.
