126. Chapter 126 [Dongzhu] Resurrection, The Spirit Beast Is Alive!
Chapter 126: The Revival of the Eastern Pearl, the Appearance of Spirit Beasts!
Wang Shengli shook his head slightly.
Upon hearing the news that they could exchange for the "Boundary Breaking Pill" at the military supply depot, Wang Shengli was tempted, but he had no intention of going there just to join in the excitement.
He knew that the spirit pill that could directly promote a peak Iron Bone Realm warrior to the Golden Body Realm would undoubtedly require a significant amount of military merit to exchange for.
Even if these people rushed over, they might not be able to afford it.
Moreover, Advisor Liu had just mentioned that only Iron Bone Realm peak warriors were eligible to apply for the exchange.
Although there were quite a few Iron Bone Realm warriors in the military participation department, how many of them could reach the peak of the Iron Bone Realm?
From the information Wang Shengli had gathered, it was probably not even enough to make up ten people.
Therefore, there was no need to be in such a hurry. It would be better to complete the tasks assigned by the leaders first.
With this in mind, Wang Shengli was about to say goodbye to Liu Zimo and go back to report the exact information to General Wu.
However, when he looked up, he saw Liu Zimo casually throwing something towards him.
Swish!
Wang Shengli reflexively reached out and caught it. When he opened his palm and took a look, his heartbeat suddenly doubled.
"The Boundary Breaking Pill?!"
Wang Shengli exclaimed in surprise.
He never expected that the thing Advisor Liu threw to him would be the red spirit pill he had just shown.
What does this mean?
Why would Advisor Liu throw such a precious spirit pill directly to him?
Holding the spirit pill in his hand, Wang Shengli's mind surged with emotions. He looked up at Liu Zimo, who smiled warmly and said,
"Wang, meeting you is fate. Consider this extra Boundary Breaking Pill as a gift from me!"
"If you trust me, take it now. With me and Senior Hong here, we can ensure that you successfully break through and advance to the next realm!"
Looking at the kind and concerned smile on Liu Zimo's face, Wang Shengli's heart warmed, and he almost shed tears.
He never expected that he was just here to investigate some information on orders, and he would receive such a big opportunity.
He also never expected that someone like Advisor Liu, a grandmaster or even a saint-level powerhouse, would care about and value him, a small figure, so much.
He knew why Advisor Liu suggested that he take the pill on the spot after giving him the Boundary Breaking Pill.
It was because he was worried that others might speak lightly of him and that his aptitude was limited. If he obtained the spirit pill but did not take it immediately, the ownership of the pill might not belong to him afterwards.
This kind of situation was not uncommon in the military or other powerful organizations.
Although Wang Shengli did not think that General Wu would make such unfair and cold-hearted moves, he deeply remembered Advisor Liu's care and goodwill towards him.
"Thank you, Advisor Liu!"
This time, Wang Shengli did not salute as formally as before. Instead, he bowed deeply to Liu Zimo to express his gratitude.
Then, under Liu Zimo's gaze, Wang Shengli stood up straight without any hesitation and directly put the Boundary Breaking Pill into his mouth.
Boom!
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into a massive amount of spiritual energy that filled his body. Wang Shengli did not dare to delay and immediately activated his breathing technique, rapidly absorbing and refining the energy.
Soon, a dazzling golden light began to burst out from his body, and another golden figure, like a sun, appeared in the sky above the military camp.
On the fifth day, the brilliance was magnificent and spectacular!
Wu Songyang, who had been closely watching their every move, was stunned when he saw that the fifth person to break through to the Golden Body Realm was the captain of the internal guards he had just sent out.
"Is it that casual?"
"Can anyone break through just because they want to?"
"This Advisor Liu is truly a disciple of a prophet, truly a saint-level powerhouse!"
"He is indeed extraordinary, even a bit too much!"
Wu Songyang couldn't help but exclaim.
He naturally knew Wang Shengli's martial talent very well.
The reason he was able to break through to the Iron Bone Realm was because he had an extraordinary stroke of luck when hunting demonic beasts outside the city. He accidentally consumed an innate treasure medicine, which directly broke through his Iron Bone Realm and rapidly raised his cultivation to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.
Originally, with his mediocre martial talent, reaching the peak of the Iron Bone Realm should have been the limit of his life.
But now, it seemed that there was no limit.
Unexpectedly, this kid has once again had great luck today, directly breaking through to the Golden Body with the help of Liu Zimo, this noble person.
"This kid, being valued by Advisor Liu like this, he won't be an ordinary person in the future!"
"Not to mention anything else, just his luck alone is far beyond what ordinary people can compare!"
Thinking of Liu Zimo's identity as a disciple of a prophet with supernatural abilities, a trace of seriousness appeared in Wu Songyang's eyes.
In his heart, he even began to consider whether he should give Wang Shengli more responsibility in the future.
Even Liu Zimo probably didn't expect that a random act of kindness he gave would directly change Wang Shengli's fate.
[Your good brother Wu Zetong has taken a top-grade Breaking Boundary Pill, solidifying his foundation, and his blood and energy have soared! Triggering the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the blood and energy increase, martial foundation +3, blood and energy +10,000.]
[Your good brother Wu Zexiu has cultivated the 'Guiding Breath Technique', gaining insight, his energy burst forth, and he has broken through to the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm! Triggering the 'Heaven Stealing' innate talent, sharing half of the cultivation increase, martial cultivation +15, lifespan +20.]
[...]
After more than ten minutes, the golden light on Wu Ze, Zhao Dapeng, and others dissipated, and they slowly landed from mid-air.
Liu Zimo also received feedback from the related opportunities. His internal energy, martial cultivation, and life essence were all rapidly increasing!
Great!
Liu Zimo silently circulated his breath, instantly completely refining and incorporating these blood and energy increases and cultivation improvements into his Qi Sea. His mood also became much more beautiful.
"It's about time, let's set off!"
After saying that, Liu Zimo lightly arched his hand to Hong Yuxun as a farewell.
Then, his divine sense spread out, instantly enveloping all the team members.
Swish!
With a light breeze, the group of more than ten people disappeared from the spot.
Hong Yuxun and the newly successful breakthrough Wang Shengli stood in the empty courtyard in silence for a moment, confirming that Liu Zimo and the others had already left before flying away one after another.
In an instant.
A hundred miles east of the city.
On an unknown coastal island.
Liu Zimo quietly moved with the crowd to this place.
The island was not large, but the part that appeared on the sea surface covered an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
There were abundant flowers and plants, and the mountains and rivers were not lacking. There were also tens of thousands of gathered demonic beasts.
Liu Zimo waved his hand and threw Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Du Xuebing, Wu Ze, and others into the group of demonic beasts gathered in the middle of the island.
Soon, a one-sided slaughter began.
Eleven Golden Body Realm warriors against thousands of various types of demonic beasts below the group level, it was simply too easy.
In less than three minutes, thousands of demonic beasts were wiped out and slaughtered, their bodies piling up like mountains, and in the end, Liu Zimo collected them all into the [Eastern Pearl] in his sea of knowledge.
A small world that was almost depleted due to insufficient spiritual energy needed more spiritual creatures to nourish and repair it.
Liu Zimo naturally couldn't bear to use the heavenly treasures exchanged from the military warehouse.
His own spiritual source couldn't be used without limit to nourish this [Eastern Pearl].
After all, this was a spiritual realm cultivator's spiritual shedding. Even if Liu Zimo used up all his spiritual source, it was probably impossible to completely activate it and restore it to its peak state.
Therefore, Liu Zimo set his sights on these demonic beasts from outside the domain.
These demonic beasts all came from higher realms, regardless of their cultivation level, the spiritual energy contained in their flesh and blood was extremely abundant!
However, most of their flesh and blood contained strong toxins that humans couldn't consume. Many of the demonic beast corpses didn't even have any value for collection and could only be discarded.
But, the [Eastern Pearl] in Liu Zimo's sea of knowledge could consume these demonic beast corpses without any scruples!
Regardless of whether they were poisonous or not, or whether they tasted good or not, the [Eastern Pearl] didn't need to "eat" them!
It only needed to decompose and refine these demonic beast corpses that were brought into the small world, completely releasing the spiritual energy contained within them!
Take the essence and discard the dross, isn't this making use of waste?!
In the apocalypse, there might not be many other things, but the corpses of these various demonic beasts were endless!
Liu Zimo's mind moved slightly, and a divine sense entered the [Eastern Pearl], quietly observing the thousands of demonic beast corpses that had been collected inside.
Sure enough.
After receiving the permission command from Liu Zimo to devour and refine these demonic beast corpses, the light on the surface of the [Eastern Pearl] became even brighter.
All the demonic beast corpses that had fallen to the bottom of the small world were rapidly decomposing and dissolving.
Flesh and blood decayed, toxins sank, and spiritual energy rose.
The spiritual power hidden within the flesh and blood of the corpses did not leak out at all, but was all intercepted within this small world, faintly adding some vitality to this small world!
"As expected, it's effective!"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zimo's mouth. He was delighted to have found a way to effectively restore the spiritual power of the Eastern Pearl without wasting too many resources.
Although only a trace of vitality was restored in the small world with the corpses of thousands of demonic beasts.
But as long as the quantity is sufficient, everything is not a problem.
It should be known that in the apocalypse, the one thing that is not lacking in various parts of the world is the corpses of various demonic beasts.
Even if the corpse of a demonic beast can only restore one billionth of the spiritual power of the Eastern Pearl, as long as enough is accumulated, there will always be a day when it can be completely restored!
Zhao Jiajun and the others saw that with just a wave of Liu Zimo's right hand, the corpses of thousands of demonic beasts disappeared. Although they were extremely surprised, they did not show too much surprise.
After all, before they came, they already knew that this Advisor Liu had successfully advanced to the Holy Realm.
The methods of the Holy-level powerhouses, no matter how amazing or difficult to understand, are not unacceptable, let alone something they can judge.
"The spiritual energy sanctuary is right below this basin, and there may be dozens of powerful demonic beasts with cultivation levels close to the Golden Body Realm hidden inside."
Liu Zimo's gaze swept over Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, and the other eleven people, and he said softly,
"As for where the entrance is and how the layout inside is, you need to explore it yourselves. You are responsible for your own life and death, and I will not intervene halfway."
"I will give you half an hour. If after half an hour, you still haven't found the entrance and killed all the demonic beasts inside, then consider this adventure a failure."
"There will be no punishment for failure, but you will lose the opportunity to break through or even advance to the next level!"
Whoosh!
Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Wu Ze, and the others' expressions changed at the same time, and then they became excited and excited!
Especially Zhao Jiajun and Sun Xincheng, who were already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, just witnessed Liu Zimo directly breaking through the Golden Body Realm for five Iron Bone Realm peak experts in just over ten minutes.
They had long been convinced and trusted in Liu Zimo's abilities and methods.
Now, hearing Liu Zimo say that as long as they successfully complete the mission, everyone will have the opportunity to break through or even advance to the next level, how could they not be extremely excited?
To break through and advance to the next level!
For them, who were already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm, if they could go further, they would become masters of the Embryonic Breath Realm!
In this world, there is probably no Golden Body Realm expert who can resist such a temptation!
"Advisor Liu, rest assured, we will complete the mission!"
"Holy Liu, even if we have to risk our lives, we will never back down!"
Both groups of people responded loudly and passionately, as if they were injected with chicken blood.
No one cared about the unknown dangers they were about to face.
The martial artists who survived in the apocalypse and raised their martial arts cultivation to the Golden Body Realm were not delicate flowers in a greenhouse.
For them, killing demonic beasts and fighting to the death was just a matter of life and death. They were not afraid at all. They would fight with all their might!
"Master, we also want to participate!"
Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were also eager to try.
Having followed Liu Zimo for so long, the two little girls had long been accustomed to constant battles, and their mental fortitude was strong.
Xiao Feihong was even a little battle-crazy. If she didn't fight or kill a few demonic beasts every day, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
Therefore, when she saw a fight to be had and danger to be faced, both of her eyes lit up with excitement.
Of course, she didn't want to miss the opportunity that Master mentioned about breaking through to the next level.
After all, she was already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm now. If there was a chance to directly advance to the Master Realm, she wanted to give it a try.
"Alright!"
Liu Zimo nodded slightly and said softly,
"However, in this operation, you can only provide support from behind, and you can take action when necessary, but you cannot speak to remind others!"
These two disciples of his were both dual cultivators of spirit and martial arts, and their spiritual cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm.
If they were to lead this adventure, there would be no fun at all.
They only needed to extend their divine consciousness, and they would quickly be able to explore the depths of the underground spiritual energy sanctuary.
Even the demonic beasts hidden in the spiritual energy sanctuary would not be their match.
So, they could follow behind as supervisors or caretakers, which was fine, but they absolutely could not participate too much.
"Yes, Master! We know what to do!"
Having understood the master's meaning, Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, promising not to disrupt the master's plan to train the warriors in the capital.
"Well, in that case, let's begin!" Liu Zimo waved his hand at them, indicating that the timing had officially started.
When everyone started to act actively, Liu Zimo moved with a thought and appeared directly above the island.
His divine consciousness descended, enveloping the entire island. In just an instant, all the monsters gathered on the island were silently put to sleep and killed.
Under the control of his mental consciousness, the bodies of tens of thousands of monsters were rapidly collected into the Eastern Pearl.
For a moment, the entire Eastern Pearl trembled slightly, and the core of the small world within the Eastern Pearl continuously shimmered.
The bodies of tens of thousands of monsters gathered together, and their fur, flesh, and bones all rapidly decomposed and dissolved at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few minutes, tens of millions of tons of monster flesh silently settled and decayed.
All the toxins sank to the seabed, while all the spiritual energy floated lightly and flowed to every corner of the small world.
Compared to the slight spiritual energy obtained from the bodies of thousands of monsters the first time, this time, the small world received a more concentrated and abundant spiritual energy.
After all the spiritual energy merged into this world, the light emitted by the core of the world became more stable.
A few drops of water appeared in the originally dried-up sea within the small world.
The barren and lifeless mountains and rivers also began to sprout one or two green plants quietly.
Although not many and weak, the changes were evident, and vitality emerged. The entire small world seemed to have been activated and quietly recovered.
Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
With the recovery of vitality in the small world, the light emitted by the "little sun" floating above his sea of consciousness also gained a bit more spiritual energy and vitality, as if it was reciprocating.
As a result, Liu Zimo's own sea of consciousness also gained some unprecedented vitality and vitality!
All things grow with the sun.
And this Eastern Pearl seemed to be more and more like a "sun" that continuously provided warmth and vitality to his sea of consciousness!
Liu Zimo found it hard to imagine what would happen when the spiritual energy inside the Eastern Pearl was completely restored one day.
Would it truly transform into a sun and completely turn this sea of consciousness into a brand new world capable of accommodating and even giving birth to new life?
"Roar!"
"Who dares to wantonly slaughter my subordinates in my territory?!"
With a thunderous roar, the sea at the edge of the island suddenly boiled.
A huge turtle-shaped monster suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and its massive head, about a hundred meters high, seemed to be looking at Liu Zimo from a distance.
When it saw that all the tens of thousands of monsters that originally lived on the island had disappeared without a trace, not even a single hair left, the old turtle couldn't help but become furious.
"Damn humans, it's one thing to recklessly intrude into my territory, but you even stole all my subordinates!"
"You're looking for death!"
"Watch me swallow you alive today!"
As it spoke, the giant turtle opened its mouth wide and lunged at Liu Zimo like lightning.
Liu Zimo stood still, looking up at the sudden appearance of the giant sea turtle in front of him with some surprise.
He didn't sense any trace of demonic energy from this sea turtle!
Moreover, the cultivation strength displayed by this sea turtle was even above the Golden Body Realm, reaching the level of a Grandmaster!
What surprised him even more and made him unable to believe his eyes was that he saw a purple lock shadow supported by three white auspicious clouds floating above the turtle's head!
The light emitted by the purple lock shadow was dazzling, directly illuminating half of the sky.
The auspicious clouds were like special effects, hovering around the lock shadow under the illumination of the purple light, exuding an ethereal aura.
What is going on?
It was one thing for a monster without demonic energy, but why did a lock shadow that only appeared on the heads of humans appear on this monster's head?!
What's even more unbelievable was that this lock shadow not only emitted dazzling light, but was also accompanied by auspicious clouds, making it more magnificent than the lock shadows on the heads of humans by more than double!
Is there no justice left?!
Shocked, Liu Zimo immediately moved his mind and snapped the purple lock shadow on the turtle's head with a click!
At the same time, a corresponding prompt sounded in his ears:
"Binding successful! Your spirit beast, the Turtle of Longevity, has reached its upper limit of lifespan. Currently, you can bind 1 out of 100 spirit beasts."
