Chapter 275: Refining the Second Drop of Heart Blood
Suddenly, they were stared at by a pair of black eyes. No matter how calm and bold Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were, they could not help but shiver.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang reached out to pull each other at the same time. They wanted to keep the other party behind them to ensure their safety.
However, the moment they reached out, they held each other’s hands.
The two of them quickly lowered their heads and glanced at their tightly held hands. Yu Huang suddenly smiled in relief. “Since neither of us wants to be the person hiding behind the other, let’s fight side by side.”
Sheng Xiao smiled. “Okay.”
Sheng Xiao looked up at the painting and found that it was still staring at them.
Sheng Xiao said, “This painting is not aggressive.”
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes. Why don’t we go somewhere else first?”
“Okay.”
The two of them held hands and stared at the painting warily while moving towards the door with their backs facing the painting. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they safely left the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s building and closed the door.
Sheng Xiao looked up at the Spirit Gathering Tree. “Let’s go. We’ll go to the Spirit Gathering Tree first and find the baby fish last.”
“Okay.”
The Spirit Gathering Tree was on the top of a high mountain. Yu Huang spread her wings and said to Sheng Xiao, “I’ll carry you.”
Sheng Xiao was tempted as he stared at Yu Huang’s beautiful vermillion bird wings. But he hesitated when he thought about his weight. He reminded Yu Huang, “I’m 170 pounds.”
Yu Huang said, “Professor Gold’s weight enhancement stone is much heavier than you.”
Hearing that, Sheng Xiao really went behind Yu Huang. He wrapped his right arm around Yu Huang’s neck and laid on her back.
Yu Huang carried him on her back and flapped her wings as she flew towards the Spirit Gathering Tree.
The Spirit Gathering Tree was about a thousand feet tall, like a huge mushroom standing on the top of the mountain. There were small stone platforms at the bottom of the mountain, and on each stone platform sat a Beast Tamer.
With a gentle breeze, the spiritual body of the Spirit Gathering Tree turned into catkin and landed on the shoulders of these Beast Tamers. The Beast Tamers with strong cultivation talent absorbed all of them the moment they touched the spiritual body.
Beast Tamers with ordinary cultivation bases would take more than ten minutes to absorb them.
Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “Time pa.s.ses differently under the tree. To us, they only took a few minutes to absorb the spiritual energy. In fact, they might have spent a few days there.”
“That’s right.”
Only Beast Tamers who had comprehended the power of the divine image could possess their own mystic realm and Spirit Gathering Tree after they died. The time under the Spirit Gathering Tree was different from the time outside. This reminded Yu Huang of the world inside her divine power.
There were not many empty stone platforms on the ground. Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao found a stone platform each and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as she sat down, an invisible tentacle hung down from the Spirit Gathering Tree and pierced into her glabella. At the same time, a gush of pure spirit energy entered Yu Huang’s body through the transparent tentacle.
Yu Huang immediately calmed down and focused on absorbing spiritual power.
The Divine Feather Phoenix suddenly awakened. It flapped its wings and frantically absorbed the spiritual energy that surged into Yu Huang’s body. Yu Huang could clearly feel the spiritual energy rising.
Time seemed to have stopped here.
If Yu Huang was still awake, she would realize that the Spirit Gathering Tree above their heads seemed to have suffered from a hurricane as it shook its body crazily. The willow catkins that filled the sky floated with the wind, and most of them landed on Yu Huang’s body.
Those spiritual bodies would at least stay on other people’s bodies for a few minutes. When they landed on Yu Huang’s body, they were instantly absorbed by her.
She didn’t even need to refine it to perfectly absorb the pure spiritual power.
After an unknown period of time, faint golden light came from all directions. They followed the spiritual body and surged into Yu Huang’s body.
Yu Huang discovered that her body was being pulled by a powerful force.
She was dragged into a desolate world. This world was filled with deserts. The only building in the world was that pyramid.
This was the world inside the power of the Divine Master!
Yu Huang stood in the desert. When she turned back, she discovered that there was a patch of green wild gra.s.s growing on the ground. The last time, there was only a small patch of wild gra.s.s. This time, it had actually grown into a small gra.s.sland!
In the desert, they were the only life force. They were so tenacious that they could grow barbarically without irrigation.
Yu Huang walked into the pyramid and sat down cross-legged.
One minute in the outside world was equivalent to one day in the paG.o.da. Each time Yu Huang entered the paG.o.da, she could stay in the paG.o.da for more than ten days, which was equivalent to ten minutes in the outside world.
This time, perhaps it was because time pa.s.sed even slower in the Spirit Gathering Tree than in the outside world, but Yu Huang had cultivated like crazy in the paG.o.da for two months, and the world in the paG.o.da actually had not disappeared!
Yu Huang felt that her cultivation level was about to break through to the Master Realm. She realized that her cultivation level was improving too quickly, and decided to stop for a period of time.
However, time was precious, and Yu Huang would not waste it.
She took out a jade pendant and stared at the heart blood on it while hesitation flashed across her heart.
This was the blood that the Grand State Master Mo Xiao had given her.
The Grand State Master had awakened the only nine-tailed fox beast form in the Holy Spirit Continent. The nine-tailed fox was said to be a seductive existence. This kind of creature that existed in ancient myths was presumably also exceptionally powerful.
Yu Huang was traumatized by the last time she refined Sheng Xiao’s heart blood.
After refining the heart blood, the pain from the tendons in her entire body snapping and recombining was too terrifying. When Yu Huang thought of that pain, her scalp went numb.
In her previous life, she did not feel any pain. In this life, she felt exceptionally sensitive to pain. This made Yu Huang especially afraid of pain.
She held the jade pendant and gritted her teeth. In the end, she threw it into the air and used her spiritual energy to slowly absorb the power of the blood on the jade pendant.
That drop of heart blood was peeled off from the jade pendant. It turned into a blood-red bead that floated in the air. Yu Huang tried her best to refine it, but that drop of blood bead was stubborn.
Accompanied by a painful and unwilling fox howl, the drop of blood transformed into a black nine-tailed fox with an awe-inspiring aura!
It was a black nine-tailed fox!
Yu Huang stared at the nine-tailed fox in shock. Under the bloodline pressure of the ancient divine beast, Yu Huang was slightly shocked.
The nine-tailed fox arched its back while its nine humongous tails swayed in front of her. its dark blue eyes emitted a demonic glow as it looked at Yu Huang in a bewitching manner.
Yu Huang almost lost her Divine Sense because of those fox eyes.
Swish!
Xuan Yu suddenly crawled out of Yu Huang’s body. It transformed into a Divine Feather Phoenix and circled above Yu Huang’s head.
Xuan Yu stood on Yu Huang’s head while flapping its fiery red wings. It raised its head and roared furiously at the nine-tailed fox.
The charm technique in the nine-tailed fox’s eyes was dissolved by Xuan Yu’s cry. When it saw the awe-inspiring Divine Feather Phoenix, a look of horror appeared in its eyes.
