"I can tell what's most beneficial, but I'm wondering how much more spiritual energy this wood spirit can gain inside the Spirit Gathering Cauldron?"
Luo Ming stared at the wood spirit inside for a while, then decided not to refine it yet, but to continue nurturing it and see what changes it would undergo inside the Spirit Gathering Cauldron.
"Refining a primordial spirit isn't about being as strong as possible. Your strength is only at the early stage of Core Formation. If you refine it now, you can still completely control the situation. But if this wood spirit becomes too strong, there's a risk of backlash. You might even be possessed by it," Tianjing Sanren said with a furrowed brow.
"Possession?"
Upon hearing the warning, Luo Ming was startled. Looking at the harmless little creature inside the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, he suddenly realized that it was just cute.
Just then, Luo Ming noticed the adorable little guy. With a flash, as if teleporting, he appeared in front of the sacred fetus, lay down on it, and began to nibble on it like a baby eating.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Luo Ming quickly reached out to the Spirit Gathering Cauldron and took out the sacred embryo that had given birth to the wood spirit. This item could not only provide a hundred years of lifespan, but also allow cultivators to gain an extra hundred years of magic power in a short period of time. If those old monsters whose lifespans were about to end knew about this, they would definitely fight Luo Ming to the death.
When the wood spirit saw that its food had been taken away, it flew around wildly inside the Spirit Gathering Cauldron in a fit of rage, making a sound like a baby crying.
Luo Ming felt guilty for bullying a child, so he threw in a high-grade wood-attribute spirit stone. The wood spirit immediately pounced on it, its chubby little hands tightly holding the high-grade spirit stone, and it opened its mouth to bite into it.
It was less like gnawing and more like absorbing. The spirit stone appeared unharmed on the outside, but Luo Ming could clearly sense the spiritual energy inside slowly transferring into the wood spirit's body. After absorbing the spiritual energy, the wood spirit's aura also slightly increased.
"Senior, do you think I should destroy the spirit of this wood spirit now and rely on the spirit-gathering effect of the Spirit Gathering Cauldron to continue nurturing it?" Luo Ming asked quietly, looking at the little guy in the cauldron with his eyes slightly narrowed.
He figured that since he would need to destroy the other party's soul to refine this item, he might as well destroy the other party's soul first and continue to cultivate it in the cauldron. Even if the cultivation failed, it wouldn't delay his refining. If he succeeded, the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable.
"Once the soul of this wood spirit is destroyed, it will become a dead spirit and will hardly grow any further. But you have this mysterious little cauldron, so you might actually be able to break the rules. It's worth a try," Tianjing Sanren said uncertainly after thinking for a while.
He discovered that, because of the mysterious existence of the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, some of the common knowledge about the cultivation world that he had learned over the past thousand years was no longer so certain.
Just as Luo Ming finished putting away the Holy Embryo and was preparing to meditate to recover before dealing with the Wood Spirit's problem, suddenly, he heard the roars of the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise almost simultaneously in his mind, filled with excitement and pain!
Luo Ming was startled and immediately scanned the area with his divine sense. He saw that in two caves not far away, the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise were lying beside their mountain of "snacks"—those mid-grade spirit stones. Their spiritual energy surged violently, and their demonic energy spread uncontrollably. The light on their bodies flickered, and their aura was rapidly increasing!
"Is this... a simultaneous advancement?"
Luo Ming was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized. These two guys had devoured a massive amount of spirit stones over the years, especially mid-grade spirit stones, which they practically ate like food. Their accumulation was already incredibly substantial.
Since both are Luo Ming's spirit beasts, under the pull of their energy, their bottlenecks loosen at the same time, and they begin to break through to become level six demon beasts!
Luo Ming dared not delay. He immediately waved his hand and cast several spells to maximize the power of the protective array he had set up. He then quickly took out a large number of spirit stones and piled them around the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise, especially the high-grade water spirit stones and earth spirit stones with compatible attributes, to provide them with ample spiritual energy.
The underground space was instantly filled with violent demonic energy and surging spiritual energy. The azure dragon was surrounded by water vapor, with the faint sound of waves, accompanied by a vibrant wood-attribute power.
Beneath the Xuan Turtle, a bright, earthy yellow light shone intensely, as heavy as a mountain, and golden lightning flashed intermittently across its body, exuding an astonishing aura.
"Hmm, this seems a little different from before! Could this be the power of elemental magnetism?"
As Luo Ming carefully observed the state of the Xuan Turtle, he discovered that when his divine sense touched the surface of the Xuan Turtle's body, it was twisted to the side by an invisible force and felt faintly dissipated, just like the feeling he had when he faced the Yuan Magnetic Stone Beast.
This discovery greatly surprised Luo Ming. It was rumored that the Yuan Magnetic Stone Beast could release the legendary Yuan Magnetic Divine Light when it cultivated to the eighth level. If his Xuan Turtle could awaken the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power, then the Xuan Turtle's strength would almost instantly reach the strongest among the four spirit beasts.
Logically speaking, a cultivator must possess all five elements of spiritual roots to achieve mastery in cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light. If they cultivate other spiritual roots, they can only achieve a superficial understanding.
"Currently, the Xuan Turtle has only awakened the power of the earth and lightning attributes of its bloodline. Could these two bloodlines also awaken the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power?" Luo Ming thought that among the five elements, the earth attribute is located in the very center and can contain and bear all things, while the lightning attribute is the ultimate yang power of heaven and earth. What mysterious changes would occur when the two are combined? Luo Ming is only a Core Formation cultivator, and his limited perspective makes it normal that he cannot see the reason.
Just as Luo Ming was concentrating on mobilizing the array's spiritual energy and doing his best to create a stable environment for the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise's breakthrough, a streak of dark blue light was speeding toward Biling Island from the sea a thousand miles away.
Within the shimmering light was Mingyue, her face as pale as paper.
The creature she rode was not her usual Azure Winged Scorpion, but a Wind Fox Beast that had grown to several meters in size and was surrounded by azure winds.
The Wind Fox Beast's aura was somewhat weak, but its pair of dark golden eyes remained sharp. Its four feet treaded on faint blue whirlwinds, moving at an incredible speed. However, its body would occasionally sway slightly, revealing that it was not at its peak.
Mingyue placed one hand on the back of the Wind Fox Beast's neck, continuously channeling pure magic power into it to help it maintain its speed. With her other hand, she tightly gripped a spirit stone, frantically absorbing its spiritual energy in an attempt to suppress the lingering, bone-chilling cold energy within her body.
Mingyue still feels lingering fear when she recalls that harrowing moment from more than half a year ago.
She thought she would be safe once she finished shopping and left Silver Shark Island far enough away, but unexpectedly she was suddenly attacked in a desolate sea area thousands of miles away!
That was a black-robed giant whose cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Core Formation. The ferocious giant tiger under his mount, which was shrouded in gray-black aura and had wings on its back, was even more terrifying. Its aura had reached the peak of the sixth level, just one step away from stepping into the seventh level!
