"Hiss... What powerful Soul Energy!"
Ye Tian sucked in a sharp breath as he looked at the Water Spirit Ghost Fruit. 'If an unripe Water Spirit Ghost Fruit already has such powerful Energy, wouldn't a fully mature one be even more incredible?'
Gazing at the Water Spirit Ghost Fruit, Ye Tian's heart pounded with excitent. But just as he was about to use the Lotus Seed to ripen it, the War Dragon Remnant Soul's voice rang out: "Wait! This isn't a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit!"
Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What? This isn't a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit? But it's clearly emitting powerful Soul Energy. Besides, the Li Flood Dragon knows I have the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline; it shouldn't be trying to trick ."
Ye Tian was starting to get annoyed. If he were strong enough, he would have definitely drawn his Black Glaze Sword and taught the Li Flood Dragon a lesson. 'That bastard actually dared to deceive !'
"What's the rush? I only said it wasn't a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit; I never said it was useless to . I know you ant well, and I appreciate the sentint. But you need to listen very carefully to what to do next."
Hearing the War Dragon Remnant Soul's words, Ye Tian's face imdiately broke into a smile. 'So, based on what it's saying, even if this fruit isn't a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit, it must still be a treasure that's incredibly beneficial for the soul?'
"First, tell the Li Flood Dragon to leave. It cannot stay here."
The War Dragon Remnant Soul's tone shifted as it spoke. Ye Tian, however, trusted the War Dragon Remnant Soul completely. Without asking any questions, he turned to the Li Flood Dragon and said, "Go stand guard at the entrance. I have a way to make this Water Spirit Ghost Fruit mature, but..."
"Young Master, I understand. I'll go guard the outside for you."
The Li Flood Dragon was very obedient. In its eyes, a chosen one like Ye Tian, who possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and had reached such a level at such a young age, was bound to have many secrets. It was perfectly normal that he wouldn't want to be watched.
After the Li Flood Dragon left, the War Dragon Remnant Soul finally spoke to Ye Tian with relief. "Do you know why I beca even more attentive after saying this wasn't a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit? Because this fruit is actually a Water Spirit Nether Fruit, a level higher than the Water Spirit Ghost Fruit!"
"Water Spirit Nether Fruit? What's that?"
The more Ye Tian listened, the more confused he beca. In the past, the War Dragon Remnant Soul would always get straight to the point, telling him what to do without any nonsense. It was always concise, cherishing words like gold, never using a single extra syllable, let alone a punctuation mark.
But now, the War Dragon Remnant Soul was actually talking so much, and still hadn't made it clear what it wanted him to do. 'Could it be that this Water Spirit Nether Fruit is an even more powerful treasure?'
"A Water Spirit Ghost Fruit is entirely white and contains powerful Soul Energy. It grows where Yin Spirit Water gathers. A Water Spirit Nether Fruit, however, is entirely blue. It's the evolved form of a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit, and its dicinal effects are a hundred tis greater!"
Hiss... A hundred tis!
Ye Tian's pupils contracted violently. Looking at the two Water Spirit Ghost Fruits before him, he could indeed see faint streaks of blue light flickering within the white.
"Could this be..."
"That's right. This is a Water Spirit Nether Fruit in the making. The reason it hasn't matured yet is that it's absorbing external Energy in an attempt to evolve. The Li Flood Dragon was mistaken. It would likely take decades for it to evolve into a true Water Spirit Nether Fruit, and by that ti..."
Hearing the War Dragon Remnant Soul say this, Ye Tian's heart jolted. Decades was too long. He could afford to wait, but the War Dragon Remnant Soul definitely could not.
But then again, the War Dragon Remnant Soul must have a solution; that's why it was being so uncharacteristically verbose. The War Dragon Remnant Soul wasn't one to speak without purpose.
"Just tell what to do. How can we get this Water Spirit Nether Fruit to mature completely? Is the Energy from my Lotus Seed enough?"
Hearing Ye Tian's question, the War Dragon Remnant Soul shook its head repeatedly. "The Energy from the Lotus Seed alone isn't enough. It would be sufficient to ripen a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit, but that would be a real sha. Once a Water Spirit Ghost Fruit is ripened by an external force, it loses its chance to ever beco a Water Spirit Nether Fruit!"
Ye Tian had a sudden realization. 'So that's how it is.' He then asked, "So, what should I do now?"
"It's actually quite simple. You have a Pure Yang Body, which has a relationship of mutual generation and restraint with the Yin Spirit Water. If you add your War Dragon Bloodline's Essence Blood into the mix, the resulting Energy will be countless tis stronger than the Yin Spirit Water alone. Ripening the Water Spirit Ghost Fruit into a Water Spirit Nether Fruit in a short ti won't be difficult!"
Hearing the War Dragon Remnant Soul's explanation, Ye Tian finally understood. 'So it needs my War Dragon Essence Blood. No wonder it wanted the Li Flood Dragon gone.' He was afraid the creature wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of his bloodline and would be moved to kill. He knew the saying, "a treasure invites trouble." After all, he didn't possess a true Ancestral Dragon Bloodline yet!
Although he might have the chance to evolve it in the future, that was still a long way off.
With that thought, Ye Tian wasted no more ti. He directly drew his Black Glaze Sword, slit his wrist, and forced out drops of golden blood. At the sa ti, he took out the Lotus Seed and began to release its powerful Energy.
"Be careful. Release the Lotus Seed's Energy bit by bit. When you rge it with your Essence Blood, you must control the two at a precise point of balance—not a bit more, not a bit less. With your current abilities, you can only ripen one of the fruits. Still, that will be of great benefit to for the ti being."
the War Dragon Remnant Soul said excitedly. It was clearly looking forward to this Water Spirit Nether Fruit, with its hundredfold increase in potency.
It had already reached a state of extre weakness, but thankfully, this kid Ye Tian's luck was simply Heaven-defying. He could stumble upon a priceless, once-in-a-lifeti Water Spirit Ghost Fruit just because Zhang Xinlan decided to take a bath, and it even turned out to be one capable of evolving into a Water Spirit Nether Fruit!
The power contained within the Lotus Seed was imnse. Combined with the War Dragon Essence Blood, which was nourished by his Pure Yang Body, its properties had reached the absolute peak of yang. The instant the two energies rged into the Water Spirit Ghost Fruit, ripples of Energy erupted from the fruit tree, forcing even Zhang Xinlan back several steps.
"What is Ye Tian doing? Such terrifying power!"
Zhang Xinlan's expression changed drastically. She could only watch as the white Water Spirit Ghost Fruit suddenly began to inhale like a whale, instantly absorbing more than half of the surrounding Yin Spirit Water. The entire pool dropped by several inches in a flash, and with every breath, tons of Yin Spirit Water vanished!
「Half a day later.」 Ye Tian stopped. He looked at the fruit, now entirely suffused with a flowing blue light, and let out a silent sigh of relief.
"Success!"
Ye Tian's face was now deathly pale. This ti, to ripen the Water Spirit Nether Fruit, he hadn't just used the energy of the Lotus Seed; he had also drained half of his own Essence Blood. He wouldn't be able to recover fully anyti soon. One could only imagine how terrifying this Water Spirit Nether Fruit was, and now, all of that terrifying Energy was contained within it!
The ultimate convergence of yin and yang, fused with War Dragon Essence Blood... Ye Tian thought that if he were to swallow this fruit himself, his soul, far from being strengthened, would probably just explode on the spot.
"Heh heh, at least you're self-aware, kid. This fruit isn't for you. You can't handle this much power. You can't even fully digest the Energy of the Lotus Seed, so don't even think about this fruit."
Detecting Ye Tian's thoughts, the War Dragon Remnant Soul chuckled. Its voice sounded much stronger now. Looking up at the fruit tree, one of the fruits was now clearly missing. It seed the War Dragon Remnant Soul had already devoured the Water Spirit Nether Fruit.
"The fruit's Energy is potent. I need to enter a deep sleep and won't be waking up anyti soon. But before that, you need to destroy the remaining Water Spirit Ghost Fruit!"
Ye Tian had been just about to ask what to do with the remaining fruit, but he never expected the War Dragon Remnant Soul to say sothing like that.
"What? Destroy such a treasure?!"
A look of pure heartache crossed Ye Tian's face.
