The "Lightning Man," who had already been beaten into a state of insignificance by Zhao Yang, struggled to rise upon witnessing this scene. Unfortunately, his body was shattered and immobile, and the mysterious dark energy controlled him. In terror, he shouted, "What... what are you? Please don't kill me! Don't you remember that I once gifted you two Spirit Qi Pills? My master is the Sixth Elder of our sect; aside from my junior sister, I'm the one he cares for the most! You can't kill me; otherwise..."
Before the "Lightning Man" could finish his sentence, a sound of "puff" came from his abdomen. His body collapsed, blood and flesh withering away, worse than Meng Yu's death.
Shiyunsheng swallowed the black light that flew from the "Lightning Man's" body, feeling his own flesh and blood swell with vitality. In an instant, his energy surged like a raging river. He exhaled the pent-up frustration in his chest and addressed the other Grand Offerings, who were pale and filled with despair: "I am Shiyunsheng, the young master of Zhongzhou Dragon Gate. Over ten years ago, I discovered a clue about the Ancient Jiao Dragon using the Dragon Seeking Technique from our sect. This Ancient Jiao Dragon is one of the Flood Dragon's ancient ancestors in Zhongzhou. Due to Transcend Tribulation, it attracted countless cultivators seeking its inner dan and ultimately fled, wounded and lost to history. The inner dan of dragons is unlike that of any other race; it possesses miraculous powers. Once obtained, it grants the ability to transform decay into wonder. If a dragon loses its inner dan, it won't survive for long; hence, the Dragon Pill is also known as the Destiny Pearl or Dragon Pearl."
As Shiyunsheng spoke, he extended his long fingers toward the beautiful youth without acknowledging the youth's pleas or the furious shouts and curses from the handsome young man beside him.
"If a cultivator consumes a Dragon Pearl, they will gain immense Innate Divine Ability. It took me an entire year to find this place for the sake of obtaining a Dragon Pearl, but when I finally located that Flood Dragon, its pearl had already been taken. In my disappointment, I discovered an even more extraordinary dragon species—the Jade Crawler. The Jade Crawler is a sacred beast born from the essence of sun and moon after the Flood Dragon's death. Its inner dan can allow cultivators to achieve super evolution and ultimately form a Perfect Foundation. However, since the Jade Crawler's inner dan was not yet mature, it couldn't be forcibly taken; otherwise, it would result in flaws. I waited ten years without establishing my foundation only to have my plans ruined by Zhao Yang and his group."
"Heaven's way is unjust," Shiyunsheng sighed deeply after consuming the black light formed from the shattered Foundation Stage of the beautiful youth. "I accept this fate; thus, I can only use my advantages to absorb your essence for myself. But your talents are truly lacking; regrettably, I must work hard to convert some of my cultivation into yours. Otherwise, do you think you trash can absorb my cultivation?"
Waves of rolling black light floated out from the others' abdomens and were absorbed into Shiyunsheng's body. The Raincoat Middle-aged man, who had given up resistance and whose complexion had turned dark, sighed weakly before dying: "What kind of Cultivation Method are you practicing? How can you directly absorb another's foundation?"
Now fully restored to his handsome appearance, Shiyunsheng smiled lightly at the Raincoat Middle-aged man as he was about to succumb to darkness: "This is not a Cultivation Method at all; you're just blind to reality. Dying at my hands is no loss for you because I am the first owner of a Dark Spiritual Root in this world. Your foundations will serve as my divine fetus to help me restore my Foundation Stage and reach an almost perfect state. One day, I will become the strongest person in the cultivation world—looking down upon all beneath me and laughing through eternity—then I will seek out those old fossils still clinging to life and absorb their foundations for myself to forge my name as the greatest throughout history."
With that said, the last wave of black light slowly flew out from the Raincoat Middle-aged man's abdomen. Shiyunsheng displayed a satisfied expression as he reveled in his newfound power; dark energy enveloped him while phenomena swirled above his head. Two serpentine wisps of black smoke coiled around his shoulders and waist as nearby furniture appeared to have decayed over many years.
"The dark True Qi I absorbed from you was substantial; thankfully it has created a satisfactory divine fetus prototype." Shiyunsheng grinned wickedly as he lightly shook his arms. Several Dao Fire flames erupted from him, igniting various parts of the healing room as he vanished amidst a blaze.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yang and Long Xiao Wu arrived at a place within Myriad Spirit Sect where Inner Court Elders specifically raised spirit beasts and mounts. They spotted a proud Spirit Crane standing atop a large rock as if waiting for someone. Seeing it reminded Zhao Yang of that adorable creature—the Guinea Pig—that had appeared days earlier within Myriad Spirit Sect's Mountain Protection Formation. Although it seemed useless, its cute demeanor and pitiful eyes left an indelible impression on him.
"Maybe one day I'll encounter it again, and then I'll catch it and keep it as a pet, tying it up with a rope. I’ll spend my days cultivating and farming, opening a massage chain, and after meals, I'll take it for walks. My face will be radiant, and if I meet a stunning beauty, I'll gift her the Guinea Pig..."
Zhao Yang couldn't help but indulge in endless fantasies, his gaze fixed on Long Xiao Wu in front of him. Long Xiao Wu felt a chill run down his spine and quietly shifted a few steps away, distancing himself from Zhao Yang's unsettling stare.
In a remote mountain area thousands of miles away, a peculiar Guinea Pig sat atop the head of a vibrant striped demon tiger, munching on various Spiritual Fruits. Suddenly, it let out two adorable sneezes. However, around it lay countless demon beasts, some of which were quite powerful. They trembled in fear at the sound of the Guinea Pig's sneezes and immediately offered more Spiritual Fruits to appease it.
Zhao Yang was lost in thought about handing the Guinea Pig to a golden-haired girl when he suddenly snapped back to reality, feeling both angry and frustrated. He signaled Long Xiao Wu to be quiet because his Divine Sense Detection indicated that a powerful figure was approaching. The person was an elderly man with gray hair; Zhao Yang couldn't gauge his strength, but he guessed that anyone of this age in the Myriad Spirit Sect would at least be in the mid to late Foundation Establishment Stage, with some barely reaching the Core Formation Stage, making them pillars of the Myriad Spirit Sect and candidates for elder positions.
Before long, from around a bend in a small path, the gray-haired elder stealthily approached the stone where the Spirit Crane rested. He took out a strange crescent-shaped token from his robe. Just then, Long Xiao Wu unexpectedly let out a fart.
"Ugh!"
"Get lost!" Zhao Yang kicked Long Xiao Wu aside and cursed under his breath.
"Who told you to snatch those inferior offerings? They taste like soybeans; I couldn't help myself," Long Xiao Wu muttered.
"What are you doing?" The elder was startled and glared at the two boys approaching from a distance as if they weren't afraid of him at all. "What do you want? Two wet-behind-the-ears brats! I'm someone close to the Second Elder!"
The elder's words only irritated Zhao Yang further; he had no respect for Second Elder Duan Wude and considered anyone associated with him an enemy.
Just as Zhao Yang was about to speak up, Long Xiao Wu stepped forward and said, "I want that Spirit Crane and that thing you just took." He spoke like a child addressing an adult at the other end of the table: "Dad, pour me a glass of cola and pass me the soup spoon."
The sixth update.
