Jiu You had finally completely evolved into an Ancient Undying Bird, and the moment she evolved, her cultivation directly surpassed Liu Bai's, advancing into the Late Phase of Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign!
This kind of advancement method only appeared among Divine Beast races. After all, even Liu Bai, a complete cheat user, still had to climb level by level.
After shedding all impurities, Jiu You appeared even more noble and mysterious. That temperament of hers made even Liu Bai feel unable to pull himself away.
"I heard you gave that little girl Mo Ling a drop of True Phoenix blood?"
Her beautiful eyes glanced sideways at Liu Bai's completely fixed gaze as Jiu You seemingly asked casually.
"That? Yeah."
Liu Bai nodded without the slightest intention of concealing it.
"That girl Mo Ling has pretty good talent. To be able to rely on herself to advance to Earthly Sovereign in such a short time, she might even become a Super Divine Beast in the future."
Cultivating Mo Ling had long been part of Liu Bai's plans. With his True Phoenix blood, that girl would absolutely be able to raise her cultivation to the level of a peak Earthly Sovereign in a short period of time. At that point, with Bai Bin's assistance, taking control of the Cold Phoenix Clan should not be difficult.
This could be considered a backup arrangement Liu Bai had left behind for the Nine Nether Clan.
After all, with his current strength and growth speed, whether it was Bai Bin and the other three beast pets or little geniuses like Mo Ling, they were already far unable to keep pace with him.
However, these people were still extremely good assistants for the Nine Nether Clan. In the future, Hongwu would be able to command the Scarlet Phoenix Clan. Thus, with the Scarlet Phoenix Clan, the Cold Phoenix Clan, and the Nine Nether Clan combined, even if they could not compare with those Super Divine Beast races, they would still be enough to dominate a region!
"What are you planning to do next?"
Hearing this question, Jiu You immediately rolled her eyes at him and said calmly.
"What? Trying to chase me away?"
"How could that be…"
Liu Bai grinned.
"Besides, this is the Nine Nether Clan. It's your territory."
"Cut the nonsense. Aren't you going back to the Skylaw Continent? Then hurry up and leave…"
"Right away!"
Watching the two figures disappear into the horizon, Clan Leader Tianhuang felt extremely complicated inside.
The cabbage from his own family had finally grown up, yet it had also been carried off by someone else's pig.
The news of Liu Bai returning to the Five Elements Divine Palace, along with bringing back a Late Phase Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign expert, quickly spread throughout the entire Skylaw Continent.
The impact brought by this was that the strength of the Five Elements Divine Palace surged once again. With three Heavenly Sovereigns overseeing it, the Five Elements Divine Palace had become the unquestionable overlord of Skylaw Continent.
Especially after the news spread that Liu Bai had defeated Huang Xuanzhi in the Divine Transformation Pool and killed Fang Jing, rumors even began circulating that he had already become the number one person beneath Saint Grade.
This also caused many people to place the Five Elements Divine Palace among the ranks of peak super forces, only slightly inferior to the Five Ancient Clans.
At present, the only things lacking for the Five Elements Divine Palace were a truly peak super expert and the accumulation of time. As long as these two points were fulfilled, then within at most a hundred years, it would become another existence comparable to the Endless Fire Domain or the Martial Realm.
Of course, that latter thought belonged only to two people, namely the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor!
After returning to the Five Elements Divine Palace, Liu Bai merely showed himself once before throwing all matters to Jiu You while he himself directly disappeared under the pretext of entering secluded cultivation.
This operation nearly made Jiu You explode in anger. She loudly declared that once he emerged from seclusion, she would definitely make him suffer.
There was no helping it. At present, Mandala was still in secluded cultivation, while the White Tiger King had to oversee the relocation affairs of White Tiger Valley. Thus, this enormous Divine Palace could only be managed by Jiu You alone.
Fortunately, Jiu You still had considerate little cotton jackets like the Tang Bing sisters beside her. She even pulled out Liu Mubai, the younger brother of the Palace Master, making the three of them serve together as her assistants.
The reason she chose those three was not only because of their identities, but also because of their strength.
Yes, under Liu Bai's complete support, whether it was the Tang Bing sisters or Liu Mubai, all of them had already successfully advanced into Earthly Sovereigns. Moreover, each possessed extraordinary treasures and methods, making their combat strength absolutely formidable.
Setting aside the disturbances of the outside world for now, Liu Bai's secluded cultivation this time actually did not involve anything particularly major. Rather, after obtaining a large number of Beast Spirit Points, he planned to upgrade the Innate Five Spirit Plate, which he had neglected for a very long time.
As a treasure Liu Bai had begun refining all the way back in the Spiritual Energy Realm, the growth potential of the Innate Five Spirit Plate was extremely high, even surpassing the Thunder God Lotus.
However, its shortcomings were equally obvious, namely that it relied excessively on Liu Bai's cheat ability. After all, this thing originally existed because of the cheat system.
This time, Liu Bai killed the Super Divine Beast Fang Jing in the Divine Transformation Pool, obtaining a full five hundred thousand Beast Spirit Points. It was enough for Liu Bai to once again upgrade the Innate Five Spirits within the Divine Plate.
As for Bai Bin and the other three beast pets, their bloodlines were already sufficient. If they wanted to continue advancing, they would need to become Super Divine Beasts, and the Beast Spirit Point cost for that was simply too enormous to be realistic.
At present, the Innate Five Spirits within the Innate Five Spirit Plate were only Lower Divine Beast level, namely the Ancient Flying Dragon, Golden Winged White Tiger, Scarlet Sun Golden Crow, Northern Sea Nether Serpent, and Azure Phoenix.
Although they were only Lower Divine Beast level Innate Five Spirits, because of the mutual generation of the five elements, the current Innate Five Spirit Plate was already enough to rival a High Rank Saint Artifact.
"If I can upgrade the Innate Five Spirits to Mid Rank Divine Beast level, then the Innate Five Spirit Plate should be able to unleash power comparable to a quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact."
Liu Bai silently pondered inwardly.
One absolutely should not think that quasi-Peerless Saint Artifacts were weak. Not everyone could possess several Peerless Saint Artifacts at once like Liu Bai.
In the current Great Thousand World, even most Heavenly Sovereign experts born from peak super forces only used weapons and treasures at this level!
Taking the Buddha Ancient Clan from the original story as an example, despite possessing the Ancestral Tower comparable to a Saint Grade Peerless Saint Artifact, that was the clan protecting treasure of the entire Buddha Ancient Clan. Aside from the Great Elder, no one else could use it.
As for the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Qing line, none of them possessed Peerless Saint Artifacts for protection at all.
Advancing the Lower Divine Beast level Innate Five Spirits to Mid Rank Divine Beast level required fifty thousand Beast Spirit Points for each one. After upgrading all of them, it would consume exactly "half a Fang Jing." Including his previous remaining points, Liu Bai still had over three hundred and twenty thousand Beast Spirit Points left.
As for upgrading from Mid Rank Divine Beast to Peak Divine Beast, it required five hundred thousand Beast Spirit Points. Therefore, he would still need opportunities to continue accumulating them in the future. Of course, having his three beast pets take action would work as well.
As twenty five thousand Beast Spirit Points disappeared, under the power of the system, the Innate Five Spirits instantly broke free from the Divine Plate, each raising their heads and roaring toward the sky.
And amidst those endless roars, the appearances of the five giant beasts rapidly began transforming.
First was the Ancient Flying Dragon. It was originally a Divine Beast belonging to the Yinglong lineage. After this evolution, it directly grew four legs, finally possessing a tiny bit of the appearance of a true Yinglong.
Unlike the Ancient Flying Dragon, the Golden Winged White Tiger shed its wings entirely. At this moment, it completely resembled a White Tiger descended into the world. The golden patterns wrapped around its body added several degrees of nobility.
As for the remaining ones, the Scarlet Sun Golden Crow ignited Vast Heaven True Flames and completely transformed into a Vast Sun Golden Crow. The Northern Sea Nether Serpent grew a pair of fleshy wings, becoming several times more ferocious.
The only one whose appearance changed little was the Azure Phoenix. It still retained its previous appearance, but the life aura around it became even denser. With a single flap of its wings, countless trees burst forth!
The Five Spirits emerged together, shining brilliantly across the sky before finally intertwining into five colored spiritual light that condensed into an ancient bronze plate the size of a palm.
Upon that bronze plate were engraved the images of the Five Spirits, each occupying one corner of heaven and earth.
"It's complete!"
Feeling the might radiating from the newly upgraded Innate Five Spirit Plate, Liu Bai's face was filled with joy.
It truly had reached the level of a quasi-Peerless Saint Artifact!
"Very good. The objective has been achieved, so it's about time I went out for a walk."
This secluded cultivation had lasted less than half a month, but Liu Bai no longer wished to remain here.
It was not because he was afraid of Jiu You causing him trouble, but because he needed to find a new method to rapidly increase his strength.
"It's already been so long. That chess piece I planted back then should finally be able to serve some purpose now. Perfect timing to find a new way to farm experience."
The moment the thought came to him, Liu Bai acted immediately. He did not even meet Jiu You face to face, merely sending her a message before quietly sneaking away from the Skylaw Continent.
Leaving aside how furious Jiu You became after receiving the news, let us speak of our protagonist himself. After departing from the Skylaw Continent, he immediately headed north all the way.
The Extreme Northern Lands. This was a vast region located outside the Endless Fire Domain.
However, because it lay at the border between the Great Thousand World and the Demon Realm, it was constantly invaded by demonic energy. As a result, this place, comparable in size to a large continent, was barren of all vegetation, with no living beings inhabiting it.
Deathly silence was the only theme here.
The black fog sweeping through the sky was filled with corrosion and darkness, causing the entire land to have not even mountains, let alone larger stones. There was only endless black sand carried through the air by violent winds.
And yet today, such a place devoid of all life welcomed its first visitor in thousands of years.
Protected by five colored spiritual light, a figure appeared amidst the black sands.
"This should be enough…"
Liu Bai sensed the faint dim imprint within his Spiritual Sea. After stepping into this continent, that imprint had finally begun emitting weak light.
Directly retracting the spiritual light to the surface of his body and allowing the black sands to conceal his figure, Liu Bai then began attempting to use the imprint within his Spiritual Sea to contact his target.
Meanwhile, in a space located an unknown distance away from Liu Bai.
This space was pitch black, filled everywhere with dense corpse energy.
At the very center of the space stood an enormous white bone altar, upon which sat a figure dressed in black robes, his skin incomparably pale.
Suddenly, as though awakened from a nightmare, the black robed figure abruptly jolted awake, and within those pitch black eye sockets there actually emerged a trace of fear.
"It's him he's come…"
Muttering under his breath, the figure quickly rose to his feet. Though unwillingness was written across his face, his body showed no hesitation as he tore open the corpse energy space and entered it.
Liu Bai did not wait very long before the space not far before him began violently distorting. Dense corpse energy erupted forth, and a spatial passage stretching endlessly into the distance appeared before Liu Bai.
A figure stepped out from the passage. Upon seeing Liu Bai before him, hatred instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Oh? Looks like you've been doing quite well during this time. You've already reached the middle phase of Abyss Demon Emperor. Your advancement speed is even faster than mine…"
"But what's with that look in your eyes? Shouldn't you be thanking me, Shi Tianxiang?"
That's right. The newcomer was precisely the Corpse Demon Clan imperial daughter whom Liu Bai had released back in the Ancient Saint Abyss, Shi Tianxiang!
"Enough nonsense. Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"
Shi Tianxiang had no interest in reminiscing with Liu Bai.
She clearly understood the reason this man had spared her back then, but she did not want to die. Therefore, even though she knew she would be threatened, she had no ability to resist.
Liu Bai paid no attention to her attitude.
After all, his remote farming techniques were still not polished enough. He could not do what a certain country from his previous world did, where even without providing dog food, countless "stray dogs" would still desperately try to flock over.
"I need you to provide me with some information."
Liu Bai spoke directly.
"What information?"
Shi Tianxiang still maintained that icy tone.
"Information regarding Demon Emperors of the Fiend Clans. Preferably those living in the Lower Planes. Of course, if you can lure one or two Demon Emperors over here, that works too."
The moment Liu Bai finished speaking, Shi Tianxiang's expression drastically changed.
"You actually dare hunt Demon Emperors?!"
Liu Bai's intentions were already extremely obvious. He wanted her to become his hunting dog for locating prey.
Although she did not understand why he wanted to do this, was it simply to weaken the strength of their Feind Clan?
"That's my business. You only need to carry out my instructions."
Liu Bai glanced at her indifferently.
"Oh right. Aside from that, you are also to use your status to help me locate a race called the Evil Spirit Clan without being discovered."
"They possess human demon bodies and carry both Great Thousand World and Feind Race bloodlines!"
"How is that possible?! How could such beings possibly exist in this world?!"
Shi Tianxiang cried out in shock.
In her view, the power of the Great Thousand World and their Clan fundamentally conflicted with one another. If people possessing both bloodlines truly existed, then most likely they would be unable to survive at all.
Moreover, she had never heard of such beings existing within the Demon Domain.
"You only need to do as instructed. The rest is none of your concern. The only information I can give you is that this race lives within the Lower Planes and has some connection to the Saint Demon Clan."
That's right. Liu Bai had set his sights on the Evil Spirit Clan!
After all, these people also possessed Great Thousand World bloodlines. The fact that they could cultivate spiritual energy proved they also possessed Spiritual Pulse. Therefore, whether Liu Bai could advance to the Eighth Divine Pulse or even the Ninth Divine Pulse would depend on them!
"There's no need to rush the latter matter. I can give you enough time to investigate it. But the first request must be done quickly. Within at most three days, I want information on the first prey. Understood?"
Hearing Liu Bai's icy words, Shi Tianxiang instinctively trembled before gritting her silver teeth and nodding in agreement.
