Chapter 753: The Myriad Melting Ancestor Beast
"This pearl is called [Spirit Crystal Essence]."
A hint of pride flashed across the face of the princess: "It is the latest research result of the empire."
"More than a hundred years ago, we discovered demon cores in the bodies of some exotic beasts that could be absorbed and cultivated by cultivators."
"The blood and flesh power of the strange beast can actually generate spiritual energy crystals in the body. Although the purity of the spiritual energy is very low, this phenomenon still attracted the attention of the emperor of the previous generation of the empire."
"After more than a hundred years of unremitting research, we have initially mastered the technology of [synthesizing spiritual energy]. Although a large amount of flesh and blood is required as feed, the purity of the spiritual energy crystals we cultivate is very close to the top-grade spiritual stones in the Xuanhuang Realm."
When Xu Bai heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Carefully examining the [Spirit Crystal Essence] in front of him, he nodded slowly: "Great. With such means, as long as you are given enough time, I think it may not be impossible to transform this world into a small world suitable for cultivators to live in. But if that's all, it still won't be of much help to the situation. Not to mention our Federation of All Realms, any reliable force in the Xuanhuang Realm will not be short of spirit stones." Xu Bai said with some regret.
The princess seemed to have expected Xu Bai's reaction: "Of course I know this. If the function of [Spirit Crystal Essence] is only to provide spiritual energy, then I would not rank its importance after the orbit determiner."
"In fact, the main function of [Spirit Crystal Marrow] is to transfer the various abilities of alien beasts to humans without any side effects."
A red light flashed, and a round bead with what seemed to be flames appeared in the palm of her hand.
"This is the [Spirit Crystal Essence] made from a strange beast called the [Fiery Tiger]. You might as well try the effect first." The princess handed over the red round bead and said confidently.
"Inherit the magical power of a demon beast?" Instantly, Xu Bai thought of the rare treasure that Dongfang Yao had mentioned. The effect was similar, except that it stimulated the ancient bloodline ability in one's body.
Holding the red spirit crystal marrow in his palm, Xu Bai exerted slight force.
Like a glass bead, it exploded instantly. In an instant, countless red flames, like fire dragons, followed Xu Bai's arm and penetrated into his body.
"roar!"
It seemed as if a violent demonic tiger made of flames appeared before his eyes, roaring in anger and unwillingness.
Xu Bai snorted coldly, and his fantasy was shattered in an instant.
A warm current circulated in the body and finally disappeared between the eyebrows.
Xu Bai closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and a red flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
It kept beating, baking and distorting the surrounding air.
Xu Bai's eyes showed a solemn look.
Because this flame did not mobilize any spiritual power or magical powers. It was just like breathing, it was the body's instinct.
It can be started with just a thought.
The flames changed into different shapes according to Xu Bai's wishes.
As he continued to manipulate flames, memories of how to use the power of fire emerged in his mind.
Seeing that Xu Bai was able to master the ability that originally belonged to the alien beast so skillfully after absorbing the [Spirit Crystal Marrow] for the first time, the princess seemed extremely surprised.
As if she was afraid that Xu Bai would misunderstand, she quickly added: "In fact, inheriting the power of a beast through [Spirit Crystal Marrow] is not 100% successful. In addition to being related to personal qualifications and talents, it also has a certain relationship with the strength of the supernatural power."
"According to our research, the more powerful and rare the ability is, the harder it is for humans to master it. And if you fail in the inheritance process, the probability of success next time will be greatly reduced."
"There is also a certain limit to the number of supernatural powers a single cultivator can inherit. The more abilities one has already mastered, the smaller the chance of inheriting new abilities."
…
The princess introduced the usage rules of [Spirit Crystal Marrow] in detail.
Xu Bai got to the heart of the matter: "How difficult is it to create a [Spirit Crystal Marrow]? How many exotic beasts are needed to create one [Spirit Crystal Marrow]?"
The princess's endless chatter suddenly stopped.
With a blush on her face, the princess said in embarrassment, "It takes the flesh and blood of nearly a thousand exotic beasts to create one [Spirit Crystal Marrow]. However, the cultivation technology of the empire is already very mature. If there are enough resources, there is no need to worry about the production of [Spirit Crystal Marrow]."
Xu Bai nodded slightly: "This is indeed a good bargaining chip. The power of the alien beast is almost equivalent to a weakened version of a magical power. In a life-and-death battle, if it can be used unexpectedly, it will have a miraculous effect."
"Besides that? Are there any other surprises?" Xu Bai asked again.
The princess immediately looked hesitant.
After a long while, he slowly said: "This technology is not yet mature..."
"It's okay. What the Federation values is potential. If there is really a bright future, then we will never be stingy with our support." Xu Bai promised.
The princess did not respond immediately, but turned her head and cast her gaze towards Xiaoqing outside the imperial treasury.
Seeing Xiaoqing nodded in agreement, she took a deep breath and led Xu Bai to the deepest part of the treasure house.
Here, there is a huge metal furnace.
Thousands of different exotic animals are carved on the furnace, all of which appear lifelike.
There was no sign of roasting in the fire, but the temperature of the furnace seemed to be extremely high.
Even though there was some distance between them, with Xu Bai's current strength, he could actually feel a slight hint of heat.
“Bang! Bang!”
From time to time, loud collision sounds came from the furnace.
If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the wailing sounds of countless strange beasts intertwined together.
It's so creepy.
The princess seemed to be very afraid of the furnace and stayed farther away from it than Xu Bai.
She explained quietly: "This thing is called the [Furnace of All Things]."
"Its origin is a guess, or a fact."
"All the monsters and strange beasts in the world once belonged to the same body in the beginning of ancient times."
"That is the origin of all monsters, and it contains unimaginable power."
"Over countless years, countless individuals have been separated from His body."
"Then, can we do the opposite? Re-melt all the strange beasts in the world and turn them back into..."
"What about the original individual?"
There was an unfathomable light shining in the princess' eyes.
"Even if we can't know all the monsters that have ever appeared in the world, we can find enough species to produce a weaker fusion."
“It should be possible.”
"In fact, ten years ago, we briefly merged into a terrifying monster."
"Its power seemed even more terrifying than the nine-headed bird beneath our feet. Everyone present at the time, even the Blue and Red Saint Masters, were frightened to the point of losing their ability to move."
"But unfortunately, it didn't survive for long and dissolved on its own."
