15 minutes later, Mo Yu and Yun Yun arrived at their destination.
Their gazes swept over the massive mountain not far away. At the top, a large cave entrance was faintly visible, partially hidden by tree branches.
"That is the den of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. I'll try to kill or injure them later, and you should seize the best moment to sneak into the cave," Yun Yun instructed, pointing to the cave in the distance.
"Got it," Mo Yu nodded.
Seeing everything arranged, Yun Yun stopped speaking. With a flutter of her wings, her graceful figure shot into the sky and streaked toward the massive cave entrance.
Yun Yun didn't hide her presence, so when she was within a hundred meters of the cave, beastly roars echoed across the mountain.
"Human woman! How dare you show yourself again?! Today, I'll take your life to avenge my broken horn!"
From within the large cave, the furious roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King thundered across the sky.
As the roar resounded, a purple blur shot out from the cave like lightning, crashing into the dense forest below. A fierce battle erupted once again.
Glancing at the battle in the sky, Mo Yu swiftly made his move. His figure blurred as he dashed into the forest, concealing himself as he headed toward the cave at the mountain's summit.
Once he exited the forest, the massive cave entrance came into view.
Circling the dense forest, Mo Yu climbed up to the cave entrance, using the rocks for cover. He crouched slightly before swiftly shooting into the cave.
Inside the cave, it wasn't as dark as expected. Occasionally, purple crystals embedded in the walls illuminated the path.
After walking through the long cave tunnel for a while, two forks in the road appeared before him.
After another quarter of an hour, Mo Yu finally reached the exit, feeling the temperature rising as he progressed.
Upon exiting, he looked around, and his gaze fixed on the center of the cave.
There, a platform over a meter tall was made entirely of accumulated amethyst stones. Atop the platform lay a purple orb, about the size of a human head, quietly resting in place.
Mo Yu's eyes lit up as he glanced at the purple orb. A flash of excitement appeared in his eyes. "A Companion Amethyst Source!"
This was one of his most important objectives. Seeing the purple orb, Mo Yu felt a weight lift off his chest.
The moment his hand touched the Companion Amethyst Source, Mo Yu sharply inhaled, immediately withdrawing his hand. His palm burned with heat. He quickly absorbed the heat using Thunder Soul, and the scorching sensation finally subsided.
"It seems I'll have to break the outer shell of the orb," Mo Yu thought, summoning the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder.
Controlling the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder with his mind, the scarlet lightning instantly spread over the surface of the Companion Amethyst Source's outer shell.
"Crack..."
After dozens of breaths, cracks appeared on the orb's surface as the thunderbolt spread, and with a loud bang, it shattered.
As the Companion Amethyst Source broke, purple liquid began to flow from it.
Mo Yu quickly retrieved jade bottles from his storage ring and frantically collected the purple liquid.
Though the exterior of the Companion Amethyst Source was scalding hot, the liquid inside was strangely cool.
Despite its large appearance, the orb only contained enough purple liquid to fill six small jade bottles.
"Now that I've found the Companion Amethyst Source, it's time to find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and subdue the third-tier Little Amethyst Winged Lion King." Carefully storing the six bottles of Companion Amethyst Source, Mo Yu smiled in satisfaction.
Quickly, Mo Yu ran back through the passage and headed down the other fork in the tunnel.
After a brief walk, the view opened up again.
Hugging the cave wall, Mo Yu peeked inside. The entire cave was almost completely filled with amethyst stones.
In the center of the cave lay a small Amethyst Winged Lion King, quietly sleeping.
Mo Yu's eyes brightened as he stared at the sleeping lion. Although this little Amethyst Winged Lion King lacked the majestic aura of the sixth-tier one outside, it still carried an impressive presence.
"Perfect, you'll do!" Mo Yu thought, imagining how imposing it would be to ride such a magical beast.
As Mo Yu approached, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King seemed to sense something and slowly opened its beastly eyes, cautiously scanning its surroundings.
"Hey, over here."
As a voice echoed, the little lion turned its majestic body and suddenly spotted a human standing behind it.
Seeing Mo Yu, the little lion let out an angry roar, glaring at the human before it.
"I must say, this isn't how you treat your future master."
Seeing the furious little lion, Mo Yu quickly formed a seal with his hands, releasing an immense spiritual pressure toward the young beast.
Although the lion was still in its growth stage, as a third-tier magical beast, it was stronger than Mo Yin. Fortunately, Mo Yu's soul power had significantly increased earlier, and magical beasts were generally physically strong but had weaker souls. Otherwise, forcibly subduing this young beast would have been much harder.
Feeling Mo Yu's overwhelming spiritual pressure, the little lion grew restless. As the son of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it was much more intelligent than typical third-tier magical beasts and instinctively began retreating, likely planning to call for its father.
Seeing this, Mo Yu couldn't allow it to escape. His immense spiritual force pressed down on the little beast, and under his control, the spiritual power condensed into needles, piercing into the young lion's mind.
While the lion's body was tough, the soul's defense was weak. Under Mo Yu's precise control, his spiritual power acted like a constant drill, attacking the lion's soul shield.
After several breaths, a small breach appeared in the lion's soul shield. Mo Yu's face lit up as he directed his spiritual power through the gap.
"Roar!"
The lion let out a painful cry, recklessly charging at Mo Yu.
Dodging its attack, Mo Yu continued to suppress the little lion's consciousness with his spiritual power.
After a few more breaths, Mo Yu sensed the right moment. He swiftly formed an intricate hand seal, releasing an unknown energy.
"Soul Imprint!"
The Soul Imprint was a secret method Mo Yu had learned in his past life, allowing him to plant a mark in a magical beast's mind, forming a contract that made him the master.
This secret art was something Mo Yu had stolen from a beast-controlling sect, for which he had been hunted down numerous times.
As the Soul Imprint slowly formed within the lion's mind, its resistance grew more intense. The imprint's formation slowed, and at this rate, without any interruptions, it would take at least half an hour. Yun Yun wouldn't wait that long.
Frowning, Mo Yu gritted his teeth and took out one of the six bottles of Companion Amethyst Source. Summoning the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder again, he poured the entire bottle onto the Thunder Soul.
As the Companion Amethyst Source flowed into the thunder, the scarlet lightning flared up, and an overwhelming pressure emanated from it, faintly carrying the aura of the Vermilion Bird.
Mo Yu smirked as he quickly channeled a portion of his spiritual power, drawing out the Vermilion Bird's aura from the Thunder Soul and forcefully pressing it into the little lion's mind.
"Chirp!"
A piercing cry of the Vermilion Bird erupted within the lion's mind like an explosion. The presence of the high-tier magical beast suppressed the little lion's willpower, causing it to weaken drastically.
Seeing the opportunity, Mo Yu gleefully poured his soul power into the lion's mind, imprinting his Soul Imprint.
Thump!
After twenty breaths, the little lion's heart pounded, and the imprint was finally planted. The ferocity and rage in the lion's eyes vanished, replaced by calm and confusion, as if it had become a different beast.
After a moment, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King regained clarity, shaking its massive head. It stared at Mo Yu with deep reverence in its eyes.
Under Mo Yu's watchful gaze, the little lion lowered its head and knelt on its right front paw, expressing its submission in a highly human-like manner.
Thus, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King welcomed its new master, Mo Yu.
