Chapter 1193: Great Divine Ability—Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun (First update, seeking votes)

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, the Bi'an had lost a full 1/3 of its blood; if it were an ordinary creature, it might have already died.

One of the characteristics of a Divine Beast is its durability; even with such a loss of blood, the Bi'an had merely lost its combat capability and its life was in no danger at all.

However, having lost so much Qi and blood, it would take years for the Bi'an to fully recover.

During its recuperation, the Bi'an, in its extremely weakened state, would certainly have its combat power greatly diminished.

Li Zhangsheng shook the Yellow-Skinned Gourd; because there was blood from other creatures within the Bi'an, the purification rate was different from that of the Golden-Winged Roc, and could only be calculated at 1/3.

Even so, the Bi'an blood collected this time was enough for him to purify two or three jars of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, which could be considered a not-insignificant harvest.

Of course, there was still a large gap before reaching the Chi Dragon.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimate, for the Chi Dragon to evolve into a Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, it would require a minimum of ten jars of essence blood; twenty jars for a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and thirty jars for an Ancestral Dragon.

Even without adding these up, Li Zhangsheng still felt a headache; after all, he had no stable channel to obtain Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

Li Zhangsheng also did not know where the Bi'an lived; it was not that he hadn't tried to fish for information on the way, but the Bi'an, while arrogant, possessed a long lifespan that made it old, cunning, and extremely tight-lipped.

After putting away the Yellow-Skinned Gourd and the two Dragon Horns, Li Zhangsheng arrived in front of the treasure pillar.

Originally, he could have completely taken the treasures from the pillar while his Demon Pet was entangling the Bi'an, but he had to spend a little more time in order to obtain the Bi'an's blood.

Unlike the previous session, this time there were actually three Jade Boxes in the treasure pillar.

"Perhaps it's because the Bi'an is much stronger than the Pegasus."

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; although he had easily dealt with the Bi'an, judging by the difficulty coefficient, this trial was harder than the last, and difficulty was often directly proportional to the reward.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng took out the three Jade Boxes.

In the first Jade Box sat a jade book made entirely of Preaching Jade.

"Is the Golden Chapter Jade Record a mandatory reward for the core area?"

A sense of excitement grew in Li Zhangsheng's heart; the Golden Chapter Jade Record could be said to be a carrier of top-tier knowledge, and he naturally wouldn't complain about having more.

He had previously obtained the Nine Heavens Golden Palace Treasure Refining Art and the Strange Treasure Burial Technique, both of which had been of great help to him, but he didn't know what this one was.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't wait to open the jade book; brilliant and dazzling light radiated out, and twisted, complex golden seal characters floated out from within.

Golden seal characters represented one of the Heavenly Dipper 36 Chapters, representing cultivation techniques, secret arts, or divine abilities.

The next moment, under the guidance of Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power, these golden seal characters surged into his Yin Tang acupoint.

Li Zhangsheng closed his eyes slightly, quickly digesting the contents contained within.

After digesting the contents, Li Zhangsheng closed the Golden Chapter Jade Record, a speechless expression appearing on his face.

This Golden Chapter Jade Record recorded a Great Divine Ability, but the key was that it seemed to be of no use to him.

This Great Divine Ability was named Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun, divided into the two functions of Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun.

Mending Heaven goes without saying; it can patch up damaged parts of the sky and harvest great merit. Here, the "sky" refers to the Heavenly Realm or the Thirty-Six Heavens.

The problem is, the sky of the Fairy World has no damage at all, and it is still under a seal, so one shouldn't even dream of Mending Heaven.

As for Bathing Sun, it refers to the Purification Power, but it can only purify the sun. How should one put this ability? It can comb through the Sun True Fire within the sun, preventing the Sun True Fire from becoming too violent, and can obtain the power of merit over a long period.

Unfortunately, Bathing Sun was equally tasteless to Li Zhangsheng; the merit brought by Bathing Sun would certainly be much slower compared to the merit brought by purifying the Abyss Consciousness.

The key was that Bathing Sun was still a bitter chore for him. Li Zhangsheng was not a Three-Legged Golden Crow; given the ultra-high temperature on the sun's surface, how could he stay on the sun for long? He couldn't even last long at all.

In other words, this Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun was of no use to him, at least for the time being.

"If only it were the Great Divine Ability of Mediation of Creation!"

Li Zhangsheng felt very regretful; Mediation of Creation was undoubtedly the Great Divine Ability he dreamed of, because this Great Divine Ability could significantly increase the efficiency of creating new species.

Even if it wasn't Mediation of Creation, other Great Divine Abilities like Inverting Yin and Yang, Moving Stars and Changing Dippers, Earth-Walking Golden Light, or Knowing the Future would have been fine, yet he happened to get Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun.

Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun was too tasteless, and this was the case for other Stronger as well.

The only good news was that this Golden Chapter Jade Record recording the Mending Heaven and Bathing Sun Great Divine Ability was a master copy, which could create sub-copies for others to comprehend.

After putting away the Golden Chapter Jade Record, Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but rub his hands and open the second Jade Box.

In the second Jade Box, a crystal-clear bead was slightly suspended, about the size of a pigeon egg.

Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance, because he had also obtained an identical item in the previous session—Space-Time Origin!

Li Zhangsheng naturally wouldn't complain about having more of this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could significantly improve the quality of Demon Pets.

"Is Space-Time Origin also a mandatory reward for the core area?"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but complain; fixed rewards would undoubtedly reduce his expectations, but he still happily put away the Space-Time Origin.

Space-Time Origin was very precious; he wished he could get a few more.

Compared to Mysterious Essence, Space-Time Origin had better effects, and the key was that it had no restrictions on quality.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of using the Space-Time Origin for the time being; he decided to find more Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures that could improve quality before upgrading his Half-Step Legendary Quality Demon Pets to Legendary Quality.

As for Demon Pets that hadn't reached Half-Step Legendary Quality, he would use Mysterious Essence and other Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures that had quality restrictions.

As for who should use the Space-Time Origin, Li Zhangsheng hardly considered it; naturally, it would be prioritized for the two cats.

Most importantly, in just a few more months, his Dao-Achieving Item, the Gate of Light and Darkness, would give birth to a portion of Light Origin and a portion of Darkness Origin.

If he could further increase the concentration of the Seraph Bloodline in the two cats, there was indeed a not-insignificant possibility of them becoming Legendary Quality.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng withdrew his thoughts and cast his gaze on the third Jade Box.

Among the three Jade Boxes, this one was the largest, being a bit larger than a washbasin.

After opening the Jade Box, it contained a water-blue bead; its biggest feature was its large size, a full washbasin in size.

Besides being large enough, this bead was also suspended in mid-air, slightly emitting a water-blue luster.

In addition, it carried a deep Pressure; even Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but feel some pressure. This pressure was not much inferior to the Bi'an, and it was also very similar in essence.

Li Zhangsheng stared for a while; he could be certain that this bead was not a naturally born Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, nor were there any traces of artificial forging on it; it was more like it had been condensed by a living creature.
