Chapter 472: Foreseeing the Future

Chapter 472: Foreseeing the Future

While waiting for Yao Ming, Xiao Ze briefly recounted to Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and the others what had transpired inside the Yellow Springs Stele.

"Integrating one's own soul essence into the world itself, truly worthy of being an ancient peak powerhouse!"

"Indeed, reaching the half-emperor level allows for techniques beyond our imagination."

"The greatest gain for Master Xiao Ze this time must be his soul realm breakthrough to the Grand Perfection of the Heavenly Realm," the women remarked one after another.

Not long after, Yao Ming hurriedly arrived at the altar, his eyes gleaming with joy as he looked at the Yellow Springs Stele, which had undergone significant changes since before. There was now a new mouth-shaped pattern on the stele, with vast amounts of strange information flowing across it.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao Ze!" Yao Ming respectfully bowed to Xiao Ze before eagerly sitting down in front of the stele to attempt cultivating Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath. However, despite his efforts, Yao Ming couldn't grasp the cultivation method and instead exhausted a considerable amount of his soul power.

"Is it ultimately because my soul power is insufficient?" Yao Ming said helplessly, feeling the high demands Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath placed on a cultivator's soul power. Without sufficient soul power, he couldn't even qualify to learn the method from the Yellow Springs Stele.

Xiao Ze, deep in thought, recalled Yao Ming's previous attempts to accept the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's trial, which had left his soul severely wounded, requiring half a year to recover. This indicated that the Yellow Springs Demon Saint did not mind giving a little punishment to those who overestimated themselves. In the original story, when the cultivation method of Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath appeared on the Yellow Springs Stele, Yao Ming was immediately repelled, damaging his soul and requiring a healing pill from Xiao Yan.

Now, however, Yao Ming had tried for a long time without triggering any soul backlash from the stele. It seemed that the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's condensation of the soul essence had impacted the stele, reducing its ability to deliver minor punishments. But obtaining the cultivation method still required meeting the soul power threshold to gain the stele's recognition.

With this understanding, Xiao Ze smiled and said to Yao Ming, "Lord Yao Ming, the method to cultivate Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath has already appeared on the stele. There's no rush. Try again when your soul power has improved."

Hearing this, Yao Ming sighed in defeat. "Even as a two-star Dou Saint, I still don't qualify to learn it. The slow progression of soul power in magical beasts means it could take ages to reach the necessary level."

"Haha, Yellow Springs Heaven's Wrath is here, and you will have the opportunity to learn it eventually. In the meantime, you might be more interested in the Demon Saint's essence blood," Xiao Ze said, producing the golden liquid. As it emerged, the surrounding area pulsed with energy, drawing Yao Ming's eager gaze.

"Lord Xiao Ze, are you really going to share the Demon Saint's essence blood with me?" Yao Ming asked, incredulous. While the essence blood was kept within the Nine Nether Ground Serpent Clan, it was fundamentally part of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's legacy, not strictly the clan's treasure.

"The Demon Saint had close ties with the Nine Nether Ground Serpent Clan and left the Yellow Springs Stele here. Though I was recognized by the Demon Saint, it wouldn't be fair to keep everything for myself. However, if I share the essence blood with Xiao Yixian and the others, you won't have any objections, right?"

"No, no objections at all. It's already fortunate for me to receive a share," Yao Ming quickly replied. Xiao Ze smiled, and with a thought, divided the golden liquid into five portions, giving everyone present a share.

Yao Ming looked at the essence blood in his palm, feeling its abundant energy, and his face lit up with joy. "Wonderful! With this essence blood, I have confidence I can reach three-star Dou Saint within three years!"

Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin also received their shares. Such treasures greatly benefited even Dou Saints, let alone those currently at lower levels. Refining the Demon Saint's essence blood would surely propel them to the half-saint realm. How far they could advance within that realm would depend on their prior accumulations. With Qing Lin's advantage from forcibly contracting the Nine Nether Ground Serpent Clan's Great Elder, she might even reach high-level half-saint directly!

After dividing the essence blood, Xiao Ze remembered his upcoming visit to Ancient Dragon Island and the possible assault by the three dragon kings. Although there was still a long time before this event, as he had saved Yao Ming years earlier than in the original story, it was prudent to prepare.

"Lord Yao Ming, I have some ties with the next Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. If the three dragon kings request your participation in their internal conflict, you know what to do, right?"

Yao Ming was startled to hear Xiao Ze mention the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Though he had been imprisoned for centuries, he knew the clan had long been divided. To hear that they had a new Dragon Emperor was surprising, suggesting the emperor might not be strong enough yet, or the dragon kings would not dare rebel.

Understanding quickly, Yao Ming smiled and said, "Naturally, the Nine Nether Ground Serpent Clan will not involve itself in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's internal strife. If I am free, I can assist the new Dragon Emperor."

Yao Ming's response pleased Xiao Ze. Though the conflict was still far off, laying the groundwork now would ease future troubles.
