Chapter 104: Liquid Spiritual Power, Successfully Breaking Through to the Fifth Rank!

The Skeleton Knight was, after all, a top-tier powerhouse during his lifetime, so he could naturally perceive Ye Ling's current state.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and he gazed at this youth with astonishment.

Logically speaking, such a breakthrough across a major realm requires a state of peace and harmony.

Especially for the two major hurdles of breaking through to the Fifth Rank and the Ninth Rank, he had not expected this youth to dare to do so.

However, he could also see that this youth had long since reached a profound level at the threshold of breaking through from the Fourth Rank to the Fifth Rank; this breakthrough was merely a natural progression.

"Very well, then let me see what kind of situation this youth will end up in." The Skeleton Knight pondered, sitting cross-legged, his gaze fixed intently on everything.

The Skeleton Knight did not know what that black-purple Heavenly Punishment Destruction Qi was, nor could he understand it, but he had no intention of taking action to suppress it.

Yet, the pure white light that Ye Ling had touched gave him a very familiar feeling, as if he had sensed it long ago and had been deeply accompanied by it.

It was just that thousands of years of undead skeleton history had made his memories somewhat chaotic, causing him to forget quite a lot, not to mention that his true body was still in slumber, and he was currently nothing more than an avatar. As for the Skeleton Knight's situation, Ye Ling did not notice it; he was currently immersed in that perception of cultivation.

The Spiritual Power within his body was constantly boiling, following which it circulated on its own.

At this moment, the bright moon above the sky, following the instinctive operation of the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove, descended moonlight, gathering around Ye Ling's body, scouring the Spiritual Power within, flashing with a strange aura, and constantly sublimating.

And the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, in coordination with the Light Element Spiritual Stove Yating, was also amplifying Ye Ling himself, and increasing the frequency of absorbing external Spiritual Power.

As for the touch of white light on Ye Ling's brow, it became even more infinite at this moment; the white light filled every meridian in Ye Ling's body, and those countless strands of Spiritual Power appeared to change along with this white light, dancing constantly—it was truly marvelous.

At this moment, the Spiritual Power within his body automatically began to circulate, performing a Great Circulation, transforming into a vortex of Spiritual Power, constantly circling and sublimating. Under the stacking of Ye Ling's countless buffs, this Spiritual Power was also constantly tempered, blended, condensed, dissipated, and condensed once more.

Ye Ling's total Spiritual Power was certainly not small, exceeding two thousand points, but high-quality Spiritual Power required something even more terrifying.

When his Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted, following a flash of white light, all the final Spiritual Power underwent a final blending, tempering, and condensation.

A single drop of Liquid Spiritual Power then emerged from the Void, carrying within it full, strange Spiritual Power, and slowly flew before Ye Ling.

This caused Ye Ling to instantly emerge from his previous state of enlightenment, turning instead to look at this drop of spirit liquid, this drop of Liquid Spiritual Power.

Looking at this drop of Liquid Spiritual Power, a smile could not help but appear on the corners of Ye Ling's mouth, his eyes filled with joy.

"Is this Liquid Spiritual Power?"

"Sure enough, it was said before that even if the Fifth Rank and Fourth Rank have the same amount of Spiritual Power, in terms of the quality of this Spiritual Power, even having more Fourth Ranks would make it hard to be a match for a Fifth Rank."

"The gap between Liquid Spiritual Power and gaseous Spiritual Power is truly vast." Ye Ling smiled, a hint of heroic spirit vaguely surging within his heart.

Good! Truly good!

"The quality of this Liquid Spiritual Power of yours is truly the first in history..."

"I have lived for so many years, seen, and helped countless people condense Liquid Spiritual Power, but even among those who are also God-Favored Ones, not one can compare to you."

The Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove said in surprise, his expression carrying a hint of excitement; after all, the stronger Ye Ling was, the more terrifying his return on investment would be.

"Other God-Favored Ones didn't lower their cultivation to improve and then build a foundation like I did," Ye Ling said with a helpless smile.

Afterwards, he restrained his breath, focused his mind, and used his own Mental Power to let the Spiritual Power fall back into his body. After the spirit liquid fell into his meridians, Ye Ling only felt that his body was extremely comfortable.

Sure enough, compared to ordinary gaseous Spiritual Power, the gap with Liquid Spiritual Power is indeed not small.

Ye Ling smiled inwardly, and at the same time, he felt something unusual: "Eh, Senior Canghai, your home has been occupied."

"What?" Moon Bright Vast Sea was confused and began to investigate, but the result of the investigation left him stunned: "Damn it, what the hell, where is the contract I entrusted to your brow?"

There are many places on a person where a contract can be entrusted, but there are not many core contract sites, and the brow is the most important contract site.

Previously, the contract between Moon Bright Vast Sea and Ye Ling was there, with the contract level being the highest, allowing each to exert the greatest effect.

It was just that what Moon Bright Vast Sea did not expect was that in just that short moment, his highest-level contract was gone.

Not only was the first one gone, but even the second heart contract had been occupied early by Yating; now he had been directly moved to the third-ranked right chest contract.

*Sob. *

Could there be anyone more miserable than him? And under the tireless investigation of the two, they finally understood that the existence occupying the contract at Ye Ling's brow was precisely that white light representing "Void Holiness."

Moon Bright Vast Sea cried out in grief and indignation: "If I had known, I wouldn't have called you kid over just now. This is truly a massive loss for me; not only can I not understand what that thing is, but the main position is also gone."

"Don't be anxious. Think about it from another perspective: you are, after all, one of the Twelve Watchers. Even if you are incomplete, can an existence that can forcibly change a contract from your hands be simple?" Ye Ling smiled slightly, then said cautiously: "Moreover, from what I feel, that white light seems to be an egg. Right now, inside my brow, it seems to be helping me transform Spiritual Power while nurturing itself."

Hearing this, Moon Bright Vast Sea shifted his grief and indignation, investigated carefully, and then shouted in surprise: "You kid, you're right."

"It really is like that."

However, he asked with some confusion: "But, what do you plan to do?"

"Look around nearby, or continue preparing for the breakthrough? Now you are only one step away from being a true Fifth Rank Knight, just needing to refill all your Liquid Spiritual Power, right?"

Ye Ling turned his head to look at Long Lingxi, who was surrounded by black Qi and still cultivating continuously, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's continue cultivating. Anyway, our biggest goal this time is this black and white light; Magic Beast partners are secondary. Besides, Lingxi is still here; I cannot abandon her and leave by myself."

"It just so happens that this place can also be called an excellent place for cultivation; it would be a waste not to cultivate."

That was how Ye Ling answered.

And the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove agreed as well.

Once spoken, everything was easy to handle.

He then continued to sit cross-legged and stepped into a state of cultivation.

In an instant, he stepped into a state of cultivation once again.

Without the slightest blockage, this path of cultivation was countless times easier than the previous stiff and blocked transformation of Spiritual Power, and could even be said to be very simple. Just on the first day, he easily transformed one hundred points.

The second day totaled two hundred and thirty.

By the fifth day, the total even reached a full one thousand points.

Likewise, upon stepping into this round number, Ye Ling only felt a sense of fantasy before him, and he also stepped into a land of Void.

And this land of Void was precisely the universe that transcended above the continent's plane, where one could see a pure white phantom within it, constantly waving something.

After a brief look, Ye Ling was attracted by this pure white figure.

It seemed to be doing something, but with Ye Ling's cultivation, he couldn't see what was happening at all; he could only watch it on a loop, but even so, the speed at which he condensed and perfected his Liquid Spiritual Power became faster and faster.

Finally, the eighth day had not yet ended.

A full two thousand points were finally successfully transformed.

He also fully stepped into the realm of the Fifth Rank! At this moment, Ye Ling had already become a true Fifth Rank Knight! In extreme comfort, he also slowly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Clearly, this time he truly felt a massive improvement. "Congratulations, from today on, you are a true Fifth Rank Knight." Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove looked at Ye Ling with such an attitude, a smile on its lips, and spoke to offer congratulations.

"Congratulations to you too; the speed at which I restore you has taken another step forward," Ye Ling smiled slightly.

The person and the spiritual stove smiled at each other without a word.

However, just at this moment, from the center of Ye Ling's brow, that streak of Void Holiness white light slowly flew out, continuously expanding before him, its aura becoming increasingly profound, giving both Ye Ling and Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove a sense of yearning.

And this feeling did not last long; very quickly, a figure suddenly leaped out from the light, instantly rushing into Ye Ling's arms, giving Ye Ling a sudden fright.

Yet this figure did not bring any impact to Ye Ling; instead, it only felt furry and extremely soft.

Looking over, it was a dreamlike little beast, its body very small and exquisite, faint fluorescence flickering around it, a strange aura continuously enveloping it.

Its entire body was pure white, every strand of fur extremely smooth; if Li Xin were present, given her temperament, she would probably have hugged this little beast tightly and snuggled with it, right?

The little beast's appearance was very cute, its eyes a brilliant gold, its small and exquisite nose like a round pink gemstone embedded in its cute face, and yet, amidst the cuteness, there appeared a trace of holiness, though its aura was not Void, but rather had a feeling Ye Ling could not quite name.

And Ye Ling and Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove could perceive that on the contract at the center of Ye Ling's brow, it was this little beast.

"Could this little beast be that 'White'?"

"That mass of white Spiritual Power aura?"

Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove said in surprise, clearly somewhat dumbfounded; it had not expected that within that Spiritual Power there would actually be such an existence.

"Senior Canghai? You don't know what kind of Magic Beast this is?" Ye Ling was surprised.

"I have just lived a long time, I am not all-knowing; how could I possibly recognize everything?" Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove replied with no curiosity, though a trace of surprise appeared between its brows: "However, the aura on this little beast, I always feel it is somewhat like the Boss."

"Very like the Eternal Spirit Stove?" Ye Ling asked in confusion.

"Exactly." Canghai nodded.

"Could it be that person above the Eternal Throne?" Ye Ling had long had this conjecture.

"How is that possible? According to the Boss's own words, that person disintegrated countless years ago, the moment they finished creating all the planets, turning into countless fragments and divine positions, dissipating between the universe; how could it possibly be that person." Moon Bright Vast Sea explained helplessly.

What is this host of mine thinking about all day?

Without waiting for Ye Ling to answer, the little beast in his arms also jumped suddenly, instantly leaping onto him, catching Ye Ling off guard, causing him to fall backward; yet he was not angry, but rather felt a unique sense of fun.

Likewise, he also sensed that the little beast before him was roughly at the level of a Fifth Rank Magic Beast, which is equivalent to a Human's Fourth Rank, and it just happened to occupy his only Magic Beast contract, the effect of which was a Blood Contract.

Thinking about it, the two purposes for which he came here were completely resolved just like that.

Not bad, not bad.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling could not help but happily rub the little beast's head; it was very soft, hmm, not bad, not bad, although he did not know what abilities it had, nor did he discuss whether it had any relation to the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation.

Just for this soft head alone, Ye Ling felt it was worth the price of admission.

It might also be because it successfully emerged while helping Ye Ling boost his breakthrough, so it also had a sense of dependence on Ye Ling; now it did not resist in the slightest, but instead became even more steady, letting Ye Ling keep petting it.

"This little beast is not simple." Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove spoke slowly, its expression carrying a trace of surprise, and its evaluation of it was still very high.

"Although the other Magic Beasts on this Knight Sacred Mountain are not bad, many Magic Beasts were also excellent existences back in the Glorious Era.

But for Guangming Shen's Favored Ones like you and Long Lingxi, even those Ninth Rank Magic Beasts or their cubs do not have the qualifications to become the Magic Beast partners of the Child of Light and the Light Saintess, otherwise that Star-Stellar Unicorn King would not have said that."

After Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove finished speaking, it turned its head to look at Long Lingxi, who was still cultivating; the twin stars descended into the world together, and the Magic Beast on Ye Ling was already terrifying to this extent, so how much worse could Long Lingxi's be?

And the facts were indeed so.

"It seems that after my arrival, things have changed quite a bit; otherwise, Austin Griffin should have been born in that undead world." Ye Ling pondered.

Looking at Long Lingxi before him, he was somewhat worried; after all, no matter how strong the origin of a Guangming Shen's Favored One and Light Saintess is, compared to the Heaven's Wrath God who specializes in destruction, it is still somewhat lacking.

However, just at this moment, Ye Ling sensed something; his gaze shifted, looking toward a certain place, his sharpness hidden, placing the mysterious pure white little beast on top of his head, the Spirit Demon Set attached to his body, and the Angel Holy Sword also landed in his hand.

Seeing Ye Ling's aura surge, he looked toward a certain position and shouted: "Who is it?"

And very quickly, a Skeleton Knight holding two swords also slowly walked out, gripping the two swords in its hands, without a hint of hesitation, quickly and decisively rushing toward Ye Ling.

Without holding back, the battle began instantly!
