["Ding, congratulations on surpassing your level to kill the super divine beast Golden Phoenix Eagle Fang Jing. Reward: triple experience, gain 210 million experience points, 500,000 Beast Soul Points, and 3000 Origin Points."]
["Ding. Do you wish to spend 200 million experience points and 2000 Origin Points to advance to Middle Phase Spirit-Grade Heavenly Sovereign?"]
"Yes!"
In an instant, a massive vortex formed around Liu Bai's body, sweeping in the surrounding boundless seawater.
However, just as it was about to fall onto Liu Bai's head, a towering five colored phantom suddenly rose, opening its mouth and directly swallowing all the seawater filled with immense spiritual energy and blood energy.
Burp.
As if having drunk enough water, Liu Bai patted his slightly swollen stomach and even let out a burp, from which strands of spiritual light leaked out of his mouth and nose.
"I didn't expect that this breakthrough would actually replenish my spiritual power, and I also plundered a lot of the blood energy around here. You two should be happy now, right?"
As he spoke, Liu Bai raised his hands.
On his wrists, faint dragon and phoenix patterns flashed by. Clearly, the true dragon and true phoenix spirits had also benefited greatly this time.
Deep within the seawater, Jiu You's refinement of the blood essence lasted for about half an incense stick of time before gradually coming to an end.
When the last strand of almost tangible blood energy flowed into her mouth, a surge of spiritual light appeared behind her, and the black giant egg became even more profound in color. An extremely ancient aura faintly emerged within it, as if something was being nurtured inside.
Jiu You opened her eyes, and the purple flame in her pupils grew even more intense, even beginning to gradually turn black.
She exhaled a breath of air. Feeling the vast and surging bloodline power within her body, a look of joy appeared on her face.
Clearly, this refinement of a blood essence comparable to a Spirit-Grade Heavenly Sovereign had greatly improved her.
"It is a pity. I still do not know how much blood essence is needed to fully evolve my bloodline."
Jiu You gave a bitter smile.
From her perception, reaching that final step would require an astronomical amount of bloodline energy.
"Take it slowly. There are still quite a few blood essences in this Divine Transformation Pool. They will eventually be enough for you," Liu Bai smiled and comforted her.
Jiu You nodded, then looked around and asked, "Did you drive Fang Jing away?"
In order for Jiu You to safely refine the blood essence, Liu Bai had set up an array around her to isolate the outside world, so she was unaware of what had happened.
"It was not driving him away. I killed him," Liu Bai said, pointing at the surrounding seawater.
"See? He is everywhere here."
Jiu You's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock.
"You actually killed Fang Jing?"
As a super divine beast of the flying beast race, his life saving ability was extremely strong.
Not to mention ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns, even Liu Bai, with his powerful divine abilities, could defeat them easily but killing them was far more difficult. Jiu You understood this very well.
"So, do you feel even more confident in me now?" Liu Bai teased.
Jiu You immediately pouted and said unhappily, "It is just Fang Jing. Wait until you defeat Huang Xuanzhi before speaking!"
"Huang Xuanzhi, huh? Heh, I also want to fight him very much"
A battle intent flickered in Liu Bai's eyes.
Although he might not be able to completely slay that divine phoenix like he did Fang Jing, he was still quite confident in defeating him.
Seeing Liu Bai's fighting spirit, Jiu You suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
This guy really wants to trouble Huang Xuanzhi.
She quickly changed the topic.
"You are becoming more and more abnormal. If I do not hurry and evolve, I will not even be able to see your back anymore."
"Then you will have to work hard."
After a brief exchange, the two continued their journey.
However, Liu Bai had already sensed the surroundings, and there were no more blood essence divine beasts nearby, so they could only head further out.
After encountering a few Earth Sovereign level blood essence beasts, Liu Bai became somewhat impatient.
"These are not enough. Do you know where stronger blood essence beasts are?"
Jiu You hesitated, then pointed toward the unfathomably deep ocean.
"The deeper parts of the Divine Transformation Pool contain more blood essence beasts. However, most of the super divine beast geniuses are also gathered there. If we encounter them, conflict will be inevitable."
Generally speaking, their beast races stayed in the middle region of the Divine Transformation Pool, while the best areas in the depths were occupied by super divine beast geniuses.
This also indirectly proved that Fang Jing was not even among the top tier geniuses this time.
"You should have said so earlier!" Liu Bai said unhappily. "What are we waiting for? Let us go deeper!"
Seeing the hesitation in Jiu You's eyes, Liu Bai said calmly, "The path of the strong is one of seizing a single thread of survival among countless contenders. If you hesitate, how can you succeed?"
Jiu You was slightly stunned, then nodded seriously.
This was indeed not her fault. Her background and experiences had shaped her cautious personality.
And caution often led to hesitation.
Liu Bai was different.
As a transmigrator, he viewed everyone as NPCs and experience points, naturally without hesitation or concern.
"Then let us go and seize them!" Jiu You clenched her teeth and said.
"Haha, that is more like it!"
Liu Bai laughed and shot toward the depths of the Divine Transformation Pool, with Jiu You following closely behind.
As they went deeper, they encountered more blood essence beasts, and naturally more super divine beast geniuses as well.
However, these geniuses did not act like Fang Jing. They would exchange a few probing moves and retreat once they realized they were no match.
This was normal, as most came here for blood essence, not to fight to the death.
After Fang Jing's death became known, even fewer dared to provoke Liu Bai.
This made their progress much smoother, and in a short time Jiu You had refined the blood essences of ten blood essence beasts.
Behind her, the black giant egg had already begun to show faint cracks.
Just as they encountered another blood essence beast comparable to a Spirit-Grade Heavenly Sovereign, unexpected guests arrived.
"Since you are here, why hide?" Liu Bai said calmly.
"Giggle, Palace Master Liu has such sharp perception."
As his voice fell, spatial fluctuations appeared, and three figures slowly emerged from the seawater.
Jiu You's expression changed drastically as she exclaimed in shock.
"Nine Colored Peacock Clan, Kong Ling'er?"
"Nine Headed Golden Eagle Clan, Lin Cang?"
"Heaven Dragon Crane Clan, Xiao Tian?"
These were the three great geniuses second only to Huang Xuanzhi. To think they would appear together. Could it be that they were also here to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, worry surfaced in Jiu You's eyes.
However, what she did not know was that at this moment, Liu Bai was secretly delighted.
"I was wondering why you hadn't come. If you didn't show up, I wouldn't even know where to find that quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast!"
In the original story, it was precisely these three who, after hearing that Mu Chen had defeated Fang Jing, came to seek cooperation and jointly seize the quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast that Huang Xuanzhi was targeting.
Liu Bai was extremely interested in that quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast. Unfortunately, he did not know its exact location, so he could only wait here like a fisherman waiting for prey.
He had originally thought that after waiting so long without anyone showing up, he might miss it. He did not expect them to arrive after all.
At this moment, Liu Bai almost wanted to sing, "Finally I found you, I was lucky I did not give up." Of course, he still had to maintain his demeanor.
"Three of you, are you here to seize something, or to cause trouble?"
Liu Bai looked at them indifferently and said.
"Hehe, Brother Liu, please do not harbor such strong hostility. We are not here to deal with you for Huang Xuanzhi," Kong Ling'er among the three smiled lightly and said in a soft voice.
This woman was extremely beautiful, and beneath her beauty was also an air of nobility, like a phoenix. She wore a colorful dress, her slender body graceful, a slim waist that could be encircled with one hand, a fair neck and collarbone, all exuding a subtle charm.
"What do you mean?" Liu Bai pretended to be surprised.
In just two sentences, the address had changed from "Palace Master Liu" to "Brother Liu." It had to be said, Kong Ling'er was quite skilled at dealing with men.
On the side, Jiu You remained fully alert and confused, her beautiful eyes fixed on the three, waiting for their explanation.
Kong Ling'er smiled sweetly and said, "We have come to seek cooperation with Brother Liu."
Liu Bai raised his brows and said, "Cooperation? What do we have to cooperate on? Do you intend to act against Huang Xuanzhi?"
Kong Ling'er smiled and nodded. "Brother Liu is right, but also not entirely correct."
Seeing Liu Bai and Jiu You frowning slightly, Kong Ling'er stopped being mysterious and said directly, "May I ask, does Brother Liu have any interest in Saint Grade blood essence beasts?"
At these words, both Liu Bai and Jiu You's pupils shrank, revealing shock.
Of course, Jiu You was truly shocked, as she had never even heard of a Saint Grade blood essence beast. As for Liu Bai, it could only be said that life was like a performance.
"Are you certain such a level of existence can be born within this Divine Transformation Pool?" Liu Bai asked solemnly, his tone filled with doubt.
"And even if it is true, do you think the four of us can really take down something of that level?"
Kong Ling'er did not refute him, instead nodding in agreement before asking, "If it were a true Saint Grade blood essence beast, we would naturally flee as far as possible. But what if it is only a quasi Saint Grade blood essence beast that is about to break through?"
"A quasi Saint Grade…" Liu Bai pretended to ponder. "If that is the case, it is indeed worth trying."
"However, I am curious. Why did you come to us? Even if it is only a quasi Saint Grade, I do not believe the three of you cannot handle it yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Kong Ling'er gave a bitter smile and said, "If it were only that, we would not have come to you. But Huang Xuanzhi also knows about that place, so…"
It seemed things were exactly as Liu Bai remembered. These three were afraid of Huang Xuanzhi, and thus had no choice but to seek additional help.
This also showed just how much pressure Huang Xuanzhi exerted on all the super divine beast geniuses of this generation.
"So Huang Xuanzhi wants to take it all for himself?" Jiu You could not help but ask.
Kong Ling'er and the others twitched their mouths.
"That is not exactly it, but it is not far off. Huang Xuanzhi is too domineering. He wants to take seventy percent of that quasi Saint Grade blood essence, while the three of us can only share thirty percent."
Clearly, this was a case of unequal distribution leading to conflict, forcing them to seek allies.
These three were all quite strong, each having quasi Immortal-Grade Heaven Sovereign cultivation. Do not be fooled by the term quasi Immortal Grade; compared to someone like Fang Jing at Late Phase Spirit-Grade Heavenly Sovereign, the gap in combat power was enormous.
If the three joined forces, they could even contend with an Initial Phase Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign super divine beast.
However, if that Initial Phase Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign was replaced with Huang Xuanzhi, then the situation would be entirely different.
Liu Bai glanced at them and raised a brow.
"The three of you cannot even deal with Huang Xuanzhi alone?"
Liu Bai was trying to gather more information from them.
His words seemed to irritate Lin Cang of the Nine Headed Golden Eagle Clan, who snorted coldly.
"That is because you have never seen Huang Xuanzhi's true strength!"
"Do not think killing Fang Jing makes you impressive. Do you know that Huang Xuanzhi possesses the True Phoenix body, the sovereign of all birds, and has cultivated the Nine Revolutions Saint Technique, one of the thirty six Peerless Divine Ability? He is currently at Initial Phase Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, but even Middle Phase Immortal-Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not be his opponent in a real fight"
Compared to him, Kong Ling'er was much calmer and more intelligent, directly interrupting Lin Cang with a smile.
"We three indeed do not have the confidence to contend with Huang Xuanzhi, which is why we need a strong helper. After hearing about Fang Jing's situation earlier, we learned that Brother Liu was deeply hidden and unfathomable, so we came to seek cooperation."
