Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Ape Thirteen retreated dejectedly, going off to eat the organs, but they no longer tasted as delicious as before. The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast walked to Zhang Yuanjing's side and squeaked a few times.

"The Suanni Beast says this pill is very useful to it and hopes you will let it swallow it," Ape Thirteen conveyed the thought. "Yuanjing, I feel this pill is a good thing. Eating it will definitely increase my cultivation. However, it might be more useful to the Suanni Beast, so give it to it."

Zhang Yuanjing nodded: "Suanni Beast, allow me to take a look at this pill first to see what mysteries it holds."

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast took two steps back, not joining Ape Thirteen in eating the demon beast's body, and just watched Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing took out the inner core and carefully examined the纹路 (wén lù - patterns/lines) on it, feeling they were extremely profound, like very advanced array patterns.

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly floated over and entered the inner core. After a while, mist rose from the surface of the inner core, and soon tiny, crystal-clear particles precipitated out.

These particles were extremely small, and as soon as they touched the air, they turned into gas and disappeared.

Zhang Yuanjing saw clearly that these tiny crystals were actually spirit stones, but their purity was very low, not even reaching the level of low-grade spirit stones.

An idea came to his mind, and he said, "You wait for me here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Having said that, he activated his sword light again and went to the swamp again, took out the inner core, and placed it on the water surface. After a moment, he saw that the extremely polarized spiritual energy emerging from the swamp within a radius of ten zhang or so was swaying and gathering towards this white, hazy pearl.

Before long, a mist condensed around the pearl. More and more extremely polarized spiritual energy gathered, but there was no sign of the different attributes of spiritual energy colliding with each other. Instead, they harmoniously merged together. As time went on, the different attributes of spiritual energy began to release five-colored light.

After about two hours, red, black, yellow, and other colored crystals began to precipitate on the surface of the inner core, each one only the size of sand, which was the solid matter condensed from the extremely polarized spiritual power.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly thought of the Xu Beast. That beast was only in the Qi Awakening Realm and had no inner core, so how could it devour extremely polarized spiritual energy?

The Xuan Yuan Hall's records stated that a Core Formation cultivator had once captured a Xu Beast, which was only in the Qi Awakening Realm. After dissecting it, this person found a highly resilient inner sac in its abdomen, which was where the extremely polarized spiritual power was stored. Based on this, the cultivator speculated that if the Xu Beast were in the Demon Core Realm, this inner sac would transform into an inner core.

He only wondered what the relationship was between the Xu Beast and the two demon beasts. The two beasts seemed to be guarding the Qi Awakening Realm Xu Beast.

The two also did not seem to be of the same species. Whether from the appearance or the internal structure, the Xu Beast was very different from the two demon beasts.

While he was pondering, the inner core precipitated out a lot of five-colored crystals, but its aura began to decline significantly.

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked and quickly put the inner core into his storage bracelet. All inner cores, once taken out of the demon beast's body, would continue to decline even if preserved with the best jade utensils.

He had just allowed the inner core to be exposed to the air, constantly absorbing and condensing extremely polarized spiritual energy, causing its original power to be consumed a lot.

Zhang Yuanjing thought about it and felt that to know the mysteries of this, he still needed to capture alive one of the great python-like demon beasts and one Xu Beast.

However, the Origin Stone could not be used at the moment, and he had no means to search for the previous Xu Beast in the swamp, so he flew back to the place where the two beasts were hiding.

At this time, Ape Thirteen had already eaten the entire demon beast's body and was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast had been looking forward to it. When it saw Zhang Yuanjing return, it quickly ran up to greet him.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled. He was also curious about what benefits the inner core had for the demon beast, making the usually calm Suanni Beast so impatient.

He revealed the inner core and threw it towards its head. The black-haired lion leaped up, caught it in its mouth, and swallowed it before landing.

Ape Thirteen noticed the movement, raised its eyelids, glanced at it, saw that Zhang Yuanjing had returned, rolled over, and continued to sleep.

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast squeaked twice, walked to Ape Thirteen's side, lay on the ground, squinted its eyes, and soon began to snore.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head helplessly. These two spiritual beasts, including the Origin Stone, had all entered a state of deep sleep, and he didn't know how long it would take for them to wake up.

After waiting for half a day, Ape Thirteen sat up, stretched, and conveyed the thought to Zhang Yuanjing: "Yuanjing, how long have I been sleeping? After eating the demon beast's meat, I felt a burst of energy in my stomach,窜 (cuàn - darting/rushing) around in my body, which was quite comfortable, so I fell asleep. What's wrong with the Suanni Beast?"

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Brother Ape, how do you feel? Has your blood and energy increased?"

Ape Thirteen waved its arms, threw a few punches, tilted its head, and said, "It has increased a bit, but not much, I guess." Then its eyes lit up: "Yuanjing, isn't there another demon beast? Quickly take it out for me to eat. That one has a higher cultivation level, so I will definitely be able to improve a lot after eating it."

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Do you want to swallow that inner core?"

Ape Thirteen thought for a while, scratched its head, and said, "Let's leave it for the Suanni Beast first. If I eat that inner core, I might just gain more strength, but there are no other benefits. The Suanni Beast is smart, and eating it will increase both its strength and its brain."

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but smile. If that was really the case, then this inner core really had to be given to this reckless monkey to eat.

He took out the demon beast's corpse and first went to cut off the sarcoma. This beast's sarcoma was a whole circle larger than the previous demon beast's, and it was very hard. Even if he used his sword from the side, he couldn't pierce it.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't dare to use too much force, lest he damage the colorful crystals inside. So he broke open its mouthparts, dug in layer by layer, first took out the inner core, and preserved it in a jade box. Then, from the inside out, he exerted force along the bottom of the sarcoma and finally cut it off, revealing a large mass of five-colored crystals.

Compared to the demon beast in the early stage of the Demon Core realm, the crystals refined by this beast were undoubtedly much stronger in terms of size and purity. He cut off these crystals together with the skin and flesh, carefully separated them, condensed water balls to wash them clean, and stored them away.

While he was dissecting, Ape Thirteen disliked the foul air in the sarcoma and hid far away. Seeing that he was finished, it excitedly rushed up, took out a sharp small knife, and cut and ate.

Its appetite was really not small. The beast corpse, which was more than ten zhang long, was swallowed mouthful by mouthful. In just over an hour, it had eaten more than half of it.

It let out a satisfied burp and conveyed a thought to Zhang Yuanjing, saying that it was sleepy after eating its fill and wanted to take a nap first, so it lay down and snored.

Zhang Yuanjing entered this secret realm to find a solution for the Origin Stone to completely refine those gray particles. Now that he had found it and additionally given Ape Thirteen and the Suanni Beast opportunities, there was no need to rush to explore the depths of the secret realm, so he simply sat here to meditate and wait for the stone and the two beasts to wake up.

After that, the Origin Stone and the Suanni Beast remained still, while Ape Thirteen woke up after half a day, ate a big meal, and then continued to sleep. It woke up again after half a day, ate all the remaining demon beast meat, and fell asleep again.
