Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 148 - : Taming the Snow Spirit Cat
Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Taming the Snow Spirit Cat
Even after the Snow Spirit Cat had awakened its wisdom, evidence showed that it was still very easy to hoodwink, and it quickly forgot about the matter of asking for Spirit Stones.

Shi Hao, meanwhile, strolled through the mountains, searching for a suitable spot to set up a Formation.
This time, he intended to use Spirit Stones to construct the Formation and absolutely could not let anyone discover it; otherwise, how could he explain obtaining so many Spirit Stones?
Soon, he found the perfect place for setting up the Formation — coincidentally, it was an unoccupied courtyard.
Shi Hao then negotiated to switch his living quarters.
If he had asked the Martial Courtyard to give him two Spirit Stones every month, that surely would have been feasible, but requesting a different place to live naturally presented no issue.
...
His request was almost immediately approved.
After changing locations, Shi Hao began to set up the Formation, burying Spirit Stones within it, which instantly increased the courtyard’s energy density by several levels.
Of course, when he wasn’t cultivating, he naturally shut off the Formation; now that he was using Spirit Stones, he needed to conserve them.
He took inventory of the number of Spirit Stones in the Black Spirit Ring — about two thousand, which showed that the Snow Spirit Cat was quite the thief.
He wasn’t heartless, and he allowed the Snow Spirit Cat to come and cultivate here in the mornings as well.
Now, upon waking up in the morning, Shi Hao would first practice the Tyrant Body Technique, then cultivate the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture, drawing in the Power of Heaven and Earth to nourish his body and soul; afterwards, once the Snow Spirit Cat showed up, he let it and the big yellow dog cultivate together.
Ferocious Beasts don’t cultivate any techniques; they possess a bloodline inheritance, and as long as the bloodline awakens, they naturally know how to cultivate.
However, Ferocious Beasts can also switch to cultivating techniques.
“Xiao Bai, since you have awakened your spirit intelligence, I will impart to you a set of techniques,” Shi Hao said solemnly, “This is the White Tiger Subduing Heaven Art, supposedly created by one of the four Divine Beasts, the White Tiger. Of course, it’s not the complete set but a compilation that descendants patched together from the remnants.”
“Meow, his Majesty wants to learn!” the Snow Spirit Cat immediately said, eyes shining brightly.
As a Ferocious Beast, who wouldn’t know of the four Divine Beasts?
They were the strongest Ferocious Beasts on Earth, powerful beyond description, already becoming the stuff of legends within legends.
If it learned the techniques of the White Tiger, could it evolve into an existence like a White Tiger in the future?
“However, one must not transmit techniques lightly,” Shi Hao added.
“This meow is willing to take you as my disciple,” the Snow Spirit Cat declared proudly, “Human, pass on the White Tiger Subduing Heaven Art to this meow now.”
Shi Hao was surprised; he knew the Snow Spirit Cat was proud and aloof, but he never expected it would take it to such an extent.
“Go back and reflect on your behavior!” he said.
“Human, dare you defy this meow’s will?” it said, clearly displeased.
“Meow!”
The next moment, it was met with tragedy as Shi Hao pinned it to the ground and rubbed it, much to the big yellow dog’s amusement as it laughed heartily.
Cats and dogs have been rivals since ancient times.
After a good scolding, the Snow Spirit Cat finally realized its mistake; this human was not like Sun Yiming, a spineless person who would agree to anything as long as the cat acted capriciously.
“Human, what do you want?” it finally lowered its attitude.
“Call me master!” Shi Hao said.
“Never!” the Snow Spirit Cat was still very proud.
“Then do you still want the White Tiger Subduing Heaven Art and to cultivate here?” Shi Hao coaxed gently.
“Master!” the Snow Spirit Cat instantly threw its dignity aside, rolling on the ground and exposing its snow-white belly.
The big yellow dog sneered, its face full of disdain.
It certainly wasn’t going to grovel before that human. Once it had progressed in its cultivation, it would definitely grind that lunatic into the ground.
Thump, Shi Hao threw a bone out.
“Woof!” The big yellow dog pounced on it with utter lack of dignity.
Shi Hao kept his word and passed down the White Tiger Subduing Heaven Art.
Although the Snow Spirit Cat was named after a cat, it did indeed have a slight connection to the White Tiger, just as all snakes in the world could potentially transform into dragons. However, probabilities are probabilities, and reality is reality.
As for the big yellow dog, although its spiritual intelligence had improved quite a bit, it was still not as advanced as the Snow Spirit Cat. Hence, Shi Hao didn’t impart any cultivation techniques to it, letting it cultivate instinctively, which seemed to be working quite well.
Two days later, Bao Dongsheng sent someone to call him to the Three Sutra Hall.
The Three Sutra Hall was a very solemn place. Events such as the establishment of a Sect Master or the promotion of an elder all took place here.
When Shi Hao arrived, he saw that the Three Sutra Hall was already filled with many people. Bao Dongsheng, the Fourth Elder, Chu Xiaotian and other bigwigs were present, while a ring of ordinary disciples stood outside. The scene was very grand.
“Sect Master, for what reason have you summoned us all here?” the Third Elder, Peng Feng, asked, showing a hint of impatience.
They had been sitting for a long time.
Bao Dongsheng glanced around, saw that Shi Hao had arrived, then smiled and said, “Good, let’s talk about the important matter.”
All the elders were sitting upright and orderly before Bao Dongsheng, truly respectful.
“In the past few days, there have been thefts occurring in the mining area,” Bao Dongsheng began.
“Hasn’t that issue been resolved already?” Chu Xiaotian immediately interjected, his complexion somewhat ugly.
Bao Dongsheng pressed his hand down, signaling for him to calm down, “Regarding this matter, I specifically sent Shi Hao to investigate. After he returned and reported back, I dispatched people to recheck and confirm the details.”
Chu Xiaotian’s hand tightened on the armrest, while Shi Xingwei’s face turned pale.
“Chu Xiaotian, as an elder of the sect, you dared to steal Spirit Stones, what place do you think you are putting our sect in?” Bao Dongsheng suddenly pointed the finger at Chu Xiaotian.
Crack, Chu Xiaotian instantly crushed the armrest, but there was no expression on his face as he calmly said, “Sect Master, what are these accusations? The ones who stole the Spirit Stones were Zhang Ji and Chen Mo, whom I have already executed on the spot.”
“Oh, then why don’t you tell us how you killed them?” Bao Dongsheng asked.
Chu Xiaotian pondered for a moment before saying, “The battle was fierce at that time, and I don’t quite remember the details.”
“Chu Xiaotian, you are indeed stronger than Zhang Ji and Chen Mo, but why would those two choose to fight to the death with you? Didn’t they know they could run away?” Bao Dongsheng continued to inquire, “Being at the Other Shore Realm just like you, if they had truly wanted to escape, you might not have been able to catch up.”
Chu Xiaotian laughed, “Perhaps they felt guilty, so they decided to fight it out! Ha ha, besides, what they did is their business, how would I know!”
“Ha ha, when in fact, you were the mastermind behind the theft of Spirit Stones, and after being exposed by Shi Hao, you let two dead men take the blame!” Bao Dongsheng thundered.
Chu Xiaotian shook his head, “This is truly laughable! Are you suggesting that Zhang Ji and Chen Mo were actually killed by Shi Hao?”
“Aren’t they?” Bao Dongsheng pressed on.
“Of course not, they were killed by my own hands, ridding the sect of two pests!” Chu Xiaotian asserted firmly.
He was very confident, certain that as long as he stood by his story, there was nothing Bao Dongsheng could do.
Bao Dongsheng ignored him and instead looked at Shi Xingwei, speaking indifferently, “Which one of you two will step forward and accuse the other? Whoever does so, I will spare his life. Otherwise, your entire families will be executed!”
As he uttered the last words, he suddenly erupted with a terrible killing intent!
In that moment, he was no longer the amiable old man, but an authoritative leader exuding majesty.
Crack, Shi Xingwei immediately slid off his chair and knelt on the ground.
