Chapter 450: Ascension to Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure, Ancestor Lingmiao’s Expectation

Upon completing the second sub-item task, Ye Feng was thrilled.

It had only been a month since he crushed the Meat Mountain Monster with a single step.

Yet the total population of Whitefloat City had already surged by more than a million.

Even the Prestige Points had now grown to over fifty million!

This number did not surprise Ye Feng too much.

The population of the entire Southern River Basin exceeded ten billion, and at the current stage, the conversion rate was not even one percent.

Ye Feng even felt that the pace was too slow.

He sat on the recliner, stretched out his hand, and a Lucky Bag surrounded by a nine-colored halo appeared in his palm.

This was the reward after Whitefloat City’s population exceeded three million.

“Ding, congratulations to the Sect Master for obtaining an Origin of Slaughter Energy, which can be used to transform the Wind Spirit Pearl.”

The Lucky Bag dissipated, turning into a dark gold halo.

This was the Origin of Slaughter Energy.

“Well, this is the second Origin I’ve obtained; the last was the Power of World Remodeling, and now it’s Slaughter Energy, both seemingly perfectly suited for me,” Ye Feng said with delight.

He took out the Wind Spirit Pearl and fused it with this Origin of Slaughter Energy, prompting its transformation.

This time, dark clouds slowly shrouded the entire Misty Sect.

Everyone looked up and could feel a sharp aura brewing in the sky, sending shivers down their spines.

Boom rumble…

Between heaven and earth, the muffled sound of thunder erupted.

“What happened?”

People looked towards the summit of Misty Peak.

“It must be Sect Master refining a Spiritual Treasure,” someone speculated.

“I think it’s possible,” others agreed.

The fusion process of the Wind Spirit Pearl was also slow this time.

During this period, strong winds howled, attracting the Evil Qi drifting between heaven and earth, forming a massive black vortex with a diameter spanning dozens of miles.

This scene once again caused a sensation.

When the Sect Leaders of the major Sects heard about the gathering of Evil Qi, they were so frightened they almost fell to the ground.

“Everyone, no need to worry, it is Sect Master Ye devouring the Evil Qi!”

The Four Great Divine Origin Realms soon relayed this message, calming the public’s emotions.

“They say that when Sect Master Ye suppressed the Meat Mountain Monster, it was by using Divine Skills to devour the Evil Qi that he suppressed it.”

“Do you think, after Sect Master Ye absorbs too much Evil Qi, he will turn into a monster?”

“Probably not, right?”

“If that were the case, all of us combined in the Southern River Basin wouldn’t stand a chance against him!”

“May the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint bless us, let’s hope Sect Master Ye does not become possessed by evil spirits!”

The people of the Southern River Basin all prayed fervently.

Ye Feng was unaware of what everyone was thinking.

Right now, he could feel the total amount of Evil Qi in the sky increasing, and his mood gradually brightened.

“The battle with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect barely brought my total Slaughter Energy to the level of the Divine Origin Realm, but there was still too much scattered in the world, making absorption too troublesome.”

“But now, with this Origin of Slaughter Energy as a guide, Evil Qi from most of the Southern River Basin is coming my way.”

“Wonder if the Wind Spirit Pearl can be promoted to a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure.”

Ye Feng was full of anticipation.

Spiritual Treasures are categorized as Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade, suitable for Divine Origin Realm and Void Break Realm cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, Divine Origin Realm cultivators can only use Lower and Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures, unless they come from a Holy Land or belong to Five-Star Forces; otherwise, it is difficult for them to access Upper Grade Spiritual Treasures at this Realm.

Upper Grade and Supreme Grade are naturally the standard for the Void Break Realm.

In the entire Southern River Basin, only Ye Feng currently possessed two Lower Grade Spiritual Treasures, the Wind Spirit Pearl and the Star Palace.

Looking over the entire Mystique Kingdom, the total number of Spiritual Treasures doesn’t exceed twenty.

The strongest Spiritual Treasure is the personal treasure of Ancestor Lingmiao, which had just been upgraded to the Upper Grade level.

“If the Wind Spirit Pearl becomes a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure, my strength would definitely surge significantly.”

“Even without using ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’, in a normal state, I could contend with a mid-level Divine Origin Realm fighter.”

Ye Feng murmured to himself.

Whish!

The vortex of Evil Qi in the sky began to erupt.

It was like a gigantic funnel, continuously spinning and shrinking downwards, until all of it was refined by the Slaughter Energy and then merged into the Wind Spirit Pearl.

From then on, the Wind Spirit Pearl began to transform.

Faintly, it took on a hint of dark gold, like an elevation of the Slaughter Energy.

The metamorphosis was very slow.

Ye Feng waited for three days and three nights, and only then had all the Evil Qi been transformed into Slaughter Energy, which, like the Heroic Spirit Power, fused into the Wind Spirit Pearl.

“It’s done!”

Watching the Wind Spirit Pearl suspended in the air, Ye Feng smiled.

Immediately afterward, a flood of information poured into his mind.

[Wind Spirit Pearl: Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure]

[Introduction: A multifunctional composite spiritual treasure, containing ten strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy, it has various functions such as wind stabilization, slashing, life-saving, escape techniques, enhancement, deduction, tracking, etc. After consuming Wind Element Spirit Energy, it requires one hour to fully recharge.]

[Note 1: The Wind Spirit Pearl can absorb unclaimed Heroic Spirit Power from the surrounding heaven and earth, refine it, and then bolster the user with it.]

[Note 2: It can actively absorb surrounding forces and convert them into the Power of World Remodeling. Every three days, it grants an opportunity for Miniature World Remodeling, which is cumulative.]

[Note 3: It can automatically absorb surrounding Evil Qi and convert it into Slaughter Energy to bolster the user.]

[Bound to: Ye Feng (unique)]

“As expected, it has risen to a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure!”

Ye Feng began to smile, “Moreover, the Wind Spirit Pearl can automatically absorb Evil Qi, which is also a huge breakthrough.”

He grasped the Wind Spirit Pearl, walked out of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, and with a sword finger, lightly waved towards the sky.

Rip!

A fierce dark gold Slaughter Energy blade tore through the clouds in the sky, its power terrifying.

Ye Feng continued to make his move.

This time, it was a golden blade of Heroic Spirit Power.

Both forces were very powerful, and each single force had reached at least the second layer peak of the Divine Origin Realm.

But if Ye Feng used the Wind Spirit Pearl to control both forces at the same time, his strength could leap to the fourth layer of the Divine Origin Realm.

This was the tremendous improvement that came after the Wind Spirit Pearl elevated to a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure.

Additionally, the power of the ten strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy also rose significantly.

Their transformed sword energies could also cut through a mid-level Divine Origin Realm fighter.

“My strength has increased a lot, an average Divine Origin Realm being is something I can suppress with a wave of my hand!”

Ye Feng said indifferently.

Ignoring the astonished gazes of the onlookers, he punched out, dispersing all the clouds in the sky, clearing the space for hundreds of miles around, sunshine flooding everywhere, making the land come back to life.

…

Mystique Capital.

“Ancestor Lingmiao, that Ye Feng’s strength is indeed unexpected, reaching the mid-level of the Divine Origin Realm. Looking across our entire Mystique Kingdom, he could now be among the top ten,” said the middle-aged man in dragon robes, with a thick beard, as he bowed.

Ancestor Lingmiao stood suspended in the air, looking at the mysterious glowing hall that was being constructed vigorously, and while stroking his long beard, he said:

“A mere mid-level Divine Origin Realm, no matter how strong, is still under the command of our Mystique Kingdom. Why worry? Furthermore, the stronger Ye Feng becomes, the better it is for our Mystique Kingdom, is it not?”

The man in dragon robes nodded, “You’re right, Ancestor.”

“Good, continue constructing the large-scale Teleportation Array. It must be completed within a month so we can successfully open the path to Jiaoyang Holy City,” Ancestor Lingmiao urged.

“Understood,” said the man in dragon robes as he withdrew.

Ancestor Lingmiao looked at the glowing hall with a smile on his face.

“Once the Teleportation Array is complete, our Mystique Kingdom will be able to maintain contact with Jiaoyang Holy City at all times. We would also be able to use the Holy City’s Teleportation Array to travel to different places across the Shenzhou Continent.”

Ancestor Lingmiao murmured, full of expectation.

A truly glorious era belonging to the Mystique Kingdom was finally approaching!
