Yuan Venerate continued, "Your master once traveled through the Mysterious World searching for this Earth Spirit Core, and I must say, it took quite an effort. However, it’s rather regrettable that I never found one, even right up until the incident."
"Hearing you say that, Master, we have indeed stumbled upon trendous luck this ti. Can this thing help with the recovery of your cultivation level?"
Ling Xiao was internally thrilled, but his face showed a look of concern.
He now needed to increase his own cultivation level to face various challenges, and on another note, there was certainly no harm in strengthening his backup.
If Yuan Venerate could recover, then the help to him would be enormous.
"I appreciate your kindness, but what I need to recover isn’t the Earth Spirit Core. Anyway, I’ve already waited for so long, so I don’t mind waiting a bit longer. Once you, my boy, beco stronger, you can help find it."
Yuan Venerate once eagerly longed to regain his human form and strength, but as ti passed, he had beco more composed, no longer possessing the sa urgency and desperation he once did.
"I’ll take it now!"
Ling Xiao said.
"I’m afraid that won’t be easy. The Evil Beast Demon King has been staying in this cave this whole ti and could only use the Earth Spirit-Origin Stones, not the Earth Spirit Core. If he can’t collect it, how could you possibly do it?"
Yuan Venerate said with a wry smile.
"There’s always a way. What he couldn’t do, I might be able to do."
Ling Xiao wasn’t being arrogant, of course. He possessed the Mountain and River Martial Soul, which was definitely not sothing the Evil Beast Demon King could compare with.
Yuan Venerate shook his head and didn’t stop Ling Xiao; young people had to experience so setbacks to learn that life was hard. Otherwise, they would surely not learn their lessons.
However, monts later, he widened his eyes even more than when he had first seen the Earth Spirit Core.
"Damn, how did you do it?"
The Earth Spirit Core was gone!
He had witnessed Ling Xiao putting the Earth Spirit Core into the Storage Ring!
How did he do it?
"Master, don’t worry about how I did it. The important thing is that we now have this thing. Next, we need to deal with that Evil Beast Demon King!"
Ling Xiao didn’t want to explain further.
The more you say, the more likely you are to make a mistake, and if you tell too many lies, it would be harder to cover them up later on.
"That’s true, but what about the prisoners in the jail? What do you plan to do about them?"
Yuan Venerate asked.
"Naturally, I’ll have them owe a favor. I believe those people are Martial Artists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent. If I ever find myself in trouble, I’ll need friends to help ."
Ling Xiao thought and said.
"But so might not acknowledge your favor, and might even kill you instead!"
Yuan Venerate reminded him.
"I’m well aware of that, and that’s why I’ll wait until after we’ve dealt with the Evil Beast Demon King and then, together with Moon Lady, release them. Anyone who dares to disrespect after that will simply be wiped out. Those who are ungrateful are not worth keeping around anyway."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"It seems I was worrying too much. You’re not foolish, young man."
Yuan Venerate yawned, "I can’t do this anymore. The allure of the Earth Spirit Core brought out, but I am still exhausted. I’m going to sleep a bit more. Just take action for now. If you need help, just call on ; I’m mostly recovered."
"Alright!"
Ling Xiao put Yuan Venerate back into the Beast Ring and then left that side passage, entering the passageway where the Evil Beast Demon King was healing.
Just as he entered the passageway, suddenly a roar erupted.
Imdiately afterwards, the enormous cocoon actually cracked open, and a silkworm erged from inside!
This silkworm was two to three ters long, its body as white as jade, looking exceptionally beautiful.
But it also had a ferocious appearance.
Just think about it, that was a two to three ters long silkworm! And the most troubleso part was that its body was as thick as a bucket, essentially a short and fat giant python.
"Evil Beast Demon King?"
Ling Xiao sensed the aura of the Evil Beast Demon King emanating from the fat silkworm, although it was much weaker than before.
"Heh heh, this guy probably hates you to death. The reason he chose to heal himself here was to absorb the energy from the Earth Spirit Core. But now that you’ve taken the Earth Spirit Core, he can’t recover anymore."
The voice of Yuan Venerate echoed again.
"You’re kidding, right? Then why didn’t he just heal himself near the Earth Spirit Core?"
Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Foolish, you can’t set up an array formation close to the Earth Spirit Core. To heal his injuries, he had to set up a small-scale Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Refining Array."
Yuan Venerate answered, "Alright, stop worrying about these trivial matters for now. Hurry up and finish this guy off. He’s extrely weak at the mont!"
"Master, are you playing with ? Even if he’s very weak, he’s still not soone I can deal with. I was originally planning to ambush him while he was healing, but now that he’s awake, we should scram and let Moon Lady deal with him outside."
Ling Xiao was far from arrogant; he was clearly aware that even if he temporarily had the power of a Half-step Celestial, he absolutely couldn’t face the Evil Beast Demon King head-on. That would be sheer suicide.
At that mont, the Evil Beast Demon King, who had just erged from its cocoon, saw Ling Xiao, and was overwheld with rage, old and new. Anger turned its jade-like body crimson red.
The expression on Silkworm Baby also beca extrely sinister.
"Run for it!"
Ling Xiao had only one thought now: he already had the Earth Spirit Core, and even if he couldn’t kill the Evil Beast Demon King, he was still making a huge profit. As long as he could escape, this would definitely be a windfall.
However, this ti he truly encountered trouble.
Who would have thought that the chubby Evil Beast Demon King could move faster than him, blocking his escape route in an instant, leaving him no way out.
Ling Xiao’s attempt to rush forward ca to an abrupt halt.
The Evil Beast Demon King was truly cunning. If Ling Xiao had decided to attack directly just now, he could have used the Demon King’s True Essence to slip away.
But now, instead of attacking, the Demon King had blocked the only exit, clearly intending to settle the score thoroughly.
The giant eyes of the silkworm stared fixedly at Ling Xiao, filled with fury and a murderous intent.
The once overlooked ant had repeatedly beco the bane of his accomplishnts, which was very irritating!
Extrely irritating!
"Boy, you’re not going anywhere today. This king will make sure to torture you properly, so you’ll learn the consequences of offending one of the Nine Great Demon Kings of the True Demon Empire!"
The Evil Beast Demon King roared in anger, and the raging wind blew Ling Xiao back, slamming him hard against the cave wall.
Momma mia, how fierce was this guy to blow him away with a single breath?
Though Ling Xiao wasn’t hurt, escaping had now beco a major issue.
Was there no other choice but to transform into the Ancient Golden Dragon Form?
Aside from that thod, there was no other way.
"Kid, need my help?"
Yuan Venerate asked.
"There’s no need for now. It’s only in the face of life and death that one can truly unleash their potential."
Ling Xiao shook his head, rejecting Yuan Venerate’s offer.
