Chapter 758: Ten Thousand Elephant Molten Ancestor Beast
Chapter 753 – Ten Thousand Elephant Melting Ancestral Beast
“This bead, named [Spirit Crystal Marrow].”
A hint of pride flashed across the Imperial Maiden’s face, “It is the result of the Empire’s recent research.”
“More than a hundred years ago, we had discovered demonic cores that could be absorbed and cultivated by cultivators within certain foreign beasts.”
“The power of the blood and flesh of the foreign beasts would actually generate aura crystals within their bodies. Although the purity of the aura was very low, the phenomenon still caught the attention of the last generation of Imperial Emperors.”
“After more than a hundred years of persistent research, we have initially mastered the technique of [Synthesizing Aura]. Although it requires a large amount of blood and flesh as fodder, the purity of the aura crystals we cultivated is very close to that of the Xuan Huang Realm’s top-grade spirit stones.”
Xu Bai couldn’t help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes when he heard this.
Carefully scrutinizing the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] in front of him, he slowly nodded, “Remarkable. With such means, as long as you are given enough time, I don’t think it may not be impossible to transform this world into a small world suitable for cultivators to live in. However, if that is all, it still doesn’t help the situation much. Let alone our Ten Thousand Realms Federation, any reliable power in the Xuanhuang Realm wouldn’t be lacking in this thing called spirit stones.” Xu Bai said with some regret.
Empress Dowager seemed to be expecting Xu Bai’s reaction, “I naturally know this. If the function of the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] was merely to provide spiritual qi, then I wouldn’t have listed its importance after the track setting instrument.”
“In reality, the main role of the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] is to transfer the various abilities belonging to the Fae Beasts to humans without any side effects.”
A red light appeared, and an orb with what appeared to be flames lingering on it appeared in her palm.
“This is the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] that was created using an exotic beast called the [Blazing Tiger] as the raw material, you might want to try the effects first.” The Imperial Maiden handed over the red orb and said with confidence.
“Inheriting a demonic beast aptitude?” In an instant, Xu Bai thought of the exotic treasure that Dongfang Yao had once mentioned. The effect was similar, except that it was to energize the ancient bloodline ability within one’s own body.
Holding the red spirit crystal marrow in his palm, Xu Bai exerted a slight force.
As if it were a glass bead, it instantly exploded. In an instant, countless red flames, like fire dragons, drilled into Xu Bai’s body along his arm.
“Roar!”
It was as if a berserk demonic tiger composed of flames appeared before his eyes, letting out an angry, unwilling roar.
Xu Bai snorted coldly, and his illusion shattered in an instant.
A hot current flowed around in his body before finally disappearing into the center of his brow.
Xu Bai closed his eyes in realization, and a moment later, a red flame, appeared in the palm of his hand.
It pulsed unceasingly, baking and twisting the surrounding air.
Xu Bai’s eyes showed a gaze.
Because of this flame, it did not mobilize any spiritual power or divine ability. Rather, it was like breathing, belonging to the body’s instincts.
It could be unleashed with a single thought.
The flames changed into different shapes with Xu Bai’s mind.
And as he continued to manipulate the flames, a memory of how to use the flame ability surfaced in his mind.
Seeing Xu Bai absorb the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] for the first time, he was able to master the ability that originally belonged to a foreign beast so skillfully, the Imperial Maiden also seemed to look extremely surprised.
Seemingly fearing that Xu Bai would misunderstand, she hastened to add, “In fact, inheriting the power of a foreign beast through the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] is not 100% successful. In addition to being related to one’s qualifications and talents, it also has a certain relationship with the strength of the foreign ability.”
“According to our research, the more powerful and rare the ability is, the harder it is for humans to master it. And if it fails during the inheritance process, the probability of wanting to succeed the next time, will be greatly reduced.”
“There is also a certain limit to the number of abilities that a single cultivator can inherit. The more abilities that have already been mastered, the smaller the chances of being able to inherit new abilities, as well.”
……
The Imperial Maiden introduced the rules for using the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] in detail.
Xu Bai, on the other hand, grasped the core of the question, “How about the difficulty of manufacturing the [Spirit Crystal Marrow]? How many Fae Beasts are capable of creating a single [Spirit Crystal Marrow]?”
The Imperial Maiden’s originally gushing words came to a halt. A touch of redness surfaced on her face, and the Imperial Maiden said with some embarrassment, “It takes the blood and flesh of almost a thousand foreign beasts to create a single [Spirit Crystal Pith]. However, the cultivation techniques of the empire are already very mature, so if there are enough resources, there is no need to worry about the production of [Spirit Crystal Pith].”
Xu Bai nodded slightly, “This is indeed considered a notable bargaining chip. The power of a foreign beast is almost equivalent to a weakened version of a divine ability. In a life-and-death fight, if it can be utilized by surprise, it should have a strange effect.”
“Other than that? Are there any more surprises?” Xu Bai asked again.
The Imperial Maiden instantly showed a hesitant look on her face.
After a while, she slowly said, “This one technology, it is not yet mature ……”
“No matter, the Federation values potential. If it truly has a promising future, then we will never skimp on our support.” Xu Bai assured.
The Imperial Maiden didn’t respond right away, but instead turned her head, casting her eyes towards Xiao Qing outside the Imperial Treasure Trove.
After seeing Xiao Qing nod her head in acquiescence, she took a deep breath and led Xu Bai to the deepest part of the treasure vault.
Here, a large metal furnace was placed.
Thousands of different exotic beasts were carved on the furnace in a lifelike manner.
There was no blazing fire baking in sight, but the temperature of the furnace seemed extremely high.
Even from a distance, with Xu Bai’s strength, he felt a slight heat.
“Bang! Bang!”
From time to time, violent collision sounds came from within the furnace.
Listening carefully, one could also faintly hear the wailing sounds of countless alien beasts intertwined in one place.
Seeping.
The emperor’s daughter seemed to be very scrupulous about this furnace, and was farther away than Xu Bai.
She quietly explained, “This object, is called the [Wanxiang Melting Furnace].”
“Its origin is a guess, or a fact.”
“All the demonic beasts and exotic beasts under the heavens, at the beginning of the ancient times, all used to return to the same body.”
“That was the origin of all demonic beasts, containing unimaginable power.”
“For countless years, an incalculable number of individuals have been separated from His body.”
“Then, is it possible, to do the opposite. Take the world’s foreign beasts and smelt them back into ……”
“What about that original individual?”
An inexplicable light shone in the Imperial Maiden’s eyes.
“Even if we can’t know everything about all the demonic beasts that have ever appeared in the world, but find enough varieties to barely come out with a weak fusion.”
“It should also be possible.”
“In fact, ten years ago, we once briefly fused out a terrifying demonic beast.”
“The might on it seemed to be even more terrifying than this Nine Vultures at our feet. Everyone present at that time, even the Green and Red Saint Masters, were so terrified by it that they lost the ability to act.”
“But unfortunately, it didn’t survive for long before dissolving and disappearing on its own.”
