Chapter 1510: VARIATION OF THE ETERNAL CORE! THIS ONE!

Xu Jingming had assumed obtaining the Eternal Core would require considerable effort.

But he never expected Yong Ge seemed to have become a different person, no longer making things difficult.

Her gaze toward him now carried unhidden satisfaction and admiration.

There was even a faint warmth, as if viewing a junior of her own clan, making him feel slightly embarrassed.

"What is the name of the T0-level supreme art you awakened from the Sacred Stele?"

Yong Ge asked, her voice clear and melodious, tinged with curiosity.

"It is a body-strengthening art, called the Eternal Green Emperor Scripture."

Xu Jingming answered truthfully.

"What? It's the Green Emperor's supreme art!"

Yue Ying whispered in astonishment beside him.

Even Yong Ge's exquisitely beautiful face showed a trace of surprise:

"In our elf race's endless ages, only two Supreme Sovereigns have ever been born.

One was the Green Emperor; the other is the current Lin Ge Sovereign."

She paused, her gaze turning toward the Sacred Stele, her tone filled with reflection:

"The Green Emperor perished long ago in endless ages past.

His entire legacy was never recorded in written form—it all resides within the Sacred Stele.

To this day, no one has ever awakened the Green Emperor's supreme art from it.

You are the first."

As she spoke, Yong Ge's expression grew complex.

The Green Emperor was the great being who led the elf race from weakness to glory, the brightest star in elf history.

Yet no elf descendant had ever claimed his legacy—instead, it was seized by an outsider.

Perhaps this is the capriciousness of fate.

"I will record the complete body-strengthening art shortly," Xu Jingming said quickly.

After all, it was originally an elf supreme art.

Since Yong Ge no longer hindered him, he had no reason to withhold it.

Moreover, Yue Ying possessed the Silver Moon Bloodline and was perfectly suited to cultivate the Eternal Green Emperor Scripture.

"Good."

Yong Ge nodded slightly, her gaze toward Xu Jingming growing even more approving.

Willingness to share, not hoarding knowledge—this disposition was rare.

Even if Xu Jingming had refused to reveal it, she could not have forced him.

"Then come with me to retrieve the Eternal Core."

As she spoke, Yong Ge lightly waved her jade-like hand.

Hum—

Space rippled with emerald-colored waves.

Amid the complex gazes of countless elf prodigies—filled with envy and awe—

The figures of Xu Jingming, Yue Ying, and Dai La instantly vanished from the square.

Xu Jingming felt his vision blur, and the surroundings changed completely.

This was a strange space entirely constructed of emerald green.

There was no clear boundary between heaven and earth; all directions flowed with thick, unyielding emerald radiance. The air carried a refreshing, soul-soothing scent.

It was the purest manifestation of life's origin and the wood elemental law.

Xu Jingming drew a deep breath and felt every pore open, every cell rejoicing.

Even the dormant Lightning Origin and Destruction Origin within him stirred slightly.

Yue Ying also looked curiously around.

She had never been here before.

"This is the inner core of the Life Ancient Tree."

Yong Ge's voice sounded beside him.

She stood ahead.

Her dark green luxurious gown harmonized perfectly within this emerald space, as if she were an intrinsic part of it.

"And the Eternal Core you seek is also stored here."

As she spoke, Yong Ge extended her slender, jade-like finger and lightly tapped the air.

Whoosh—

The dense emerald aura ahead, nearly solidified, parted like a curtain drawn aside by an invisible hand, slowly receding to either side.

As the aura cleared, two strange seeds floated in midair.

Each seed was about the size of a pigeon's egg, perfectly round, their surfaces glowing with soft radiance.

The one on the left was pure, translucent emerald green, as if carved from the finest jade.

It hung silently, radiating a vast, gentle life force.

Merely gazing at it calmed the spirit, as if one could feel the vigorous vitality of all living things.

The one on the right was entirely different.

Its base remained emerald green.

But entwined within that emerald were countless fine, pale blue lightning arcs!

Those electric arcs were not stationary.

Instead, they moved and leapt across the seed's surface like living things, emitting a faint "crackle."

Lei Guang and green radiance intertwined, making it appear utterly divine.

It also emitted a wild, aggressive aura.

"The Eternal Core condenses only once every million years—extremely precious.

To this day, only these two remain within the Life Ancient Tree."

Yong Ge spoke in explanation.

A million years, for an immortal race like the Elves, was still an immense span of time.

How many geniuses had emerged during that time?

Each Eternal Core was a supreme treasure.

Usually, the moment it was born, it was reserved by the clan's most elite prodigies.

Thus, retaining two was already a rare accumulation.

Yong Ge lightly waved her jade hand, and the left Eternal Core—pure emerald green—drifted slowly toward Xu Jingming.

"Use this Eternal Core to break through.

It contains the purest life origin, gentle and stable—the finest Life Seed for condensing the Fate Core."

But Xu Jingming did not immediately reach for it.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the right seed, entwined with lightning arcs.

The dormant Doushen Shenlei within him stirred on its own, sending waves of intense longing and trembling.

"My Lord."

Xu Jingming spoke, his voice steady, "Why not use the one on the right?"

"During its final thousand years of gestation, this Eternal Core happened to be caught in a thousand-year cosmic thunderstorm.

The Life Ancient Tree absorbed vast amounts of thunder energy, causing this Eternal Core to undergo uncontrollable mutation."

Yong Ge looked at the seed shimmering with Lei Guang, her ink-green eyes holding a trace of regret:

"It is no longer suitable to be used as a Fate Seed.

The nature of its mutated energy is unpredictable—wild and unstable.

If an ordinary cultivator used it, they would not only fail to condense the Fate Core.

They might even damage their foundation—or worse, endanger their life."

Yong Ge spoke the truth.

In fact, the emerald-green Eternal Core on the left had originally been reserved for Yue Ying.

She had never expected Yue Ying to be so devoted to Xu Jingming.

Nor had she expected Xu Jingming to pass the Sacred Stele Trial, forcing her to change her plans.

Xu Jingming fell silent for a moment, yet the longing within him grew stronger.

He could clearly sense a strange resonance between his body and the lightning-struck Eternal Core.

The wild thunder energy radiating from the seed did not unsettle him—it made his blood boil.

As if he had encountered the perfect supplement.

"My Lord."

Xu Jingming lifted his head, trusting his instinct, "I want the one on the right."

Upon hearing this, Yong Ge's exquisitely elegant face showed a flicker of surprise:

"Are you certain? I know you have comprehended the Thunder Origin.

But the nature of the lightning-struck Eternal Core is unpredictable.

Before use, no one knows whether it will amplify or destroy the user."

Her tone grew serious:

"If it's the former, all will be well.

But if it's the latter—if you use it to break through, it may cause severe consequences.

Light outcome: unstable Fate Core, path cut short. Heavy outcome: origin damaged, cultivation utterly ruined."

This was no empty warning.

The risk of a mutated Fate Seed was immense; countless geniuses in history had been destroyed by it.

Only those with no other choice ever used a mutated Fate Seed to break through.

"Jingming..." Yue Ying also looked at Xu Jingming with concern.

But she did not urge him further—she trusted the decision her man had made.

"I am certain."

Xu Jingming nodded, without the slightest hesitation.
