Chapter 1238: Yin Yang Exquisite Pearl (Second update, requesting everything)

After a long while, Li Zhangsheng quietly watched Wendi's phantom disappear, a contemplative expression appearing on his face.

It was no surprise to him that Wendi's primary goal was indeed to recruit Li Zhangsheng, and he hoped that Li Zhangsheng could become a Vice Commander of the organization under his banner.

Because it was only a phantom, Wendi naturally could not discern Li Zhangsheng's true strength, still assuming the other party was merely a King-rank.

Even so, for Wendi to invite a King-rank to serve as a Vice Commander made Li Zhangsheng feel valued.

Li Zhangsheng did not immediately agree, but he did not refuse to his face either, hoping Wendi would give him some time to consider.

Besides that, Li Zhangsheng had also asked Wendi: since he was, after all, a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, was Wendi not afraid of the Human Emperor's fury?

According to the power hierarchy of the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, the strongest among the nine was most likely the Human Emperor, and an Emperor-rank possessed enough strength to suppress a Sovereign-rank.

Once the Human Emperor took action against Wendi, even if Wendi would not fall, it would certainly end in defeat.

As it turned out, Wendi's response was ambiguous; his words showed no fear of the Human Emperor personally causing him trouble, as if he had something to rely on.

Furthermore, Wendi believed it was almost impossible for the Human Emperor to trouble him, as it was the Human Emperor who had first poached his Grand Commander; he held the moral high ground, not to mention that Li Zhangsheng was merely a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, whose status was far inferior to a Vice Commander, let alone a Grand Commander.

Therefore, Wendi was certain the Human Emperor would not trouble him.

Regarding whether to switch sides, Li Zhangsheng did not want to consider it for the time being; he was pondering Wendi's final words.

"Great chaos is coming. The Human Emperor's next Five Decays of Heaven and Man will descend in ten years. He will certainly not sit and wait for death; he may stir up chaos in the near future, perhaps like the Heaven and Earth Hegemony of the ancient era. Little friend, no matter what choice you make, I will reserve a position for you; your arrival is welcome at any time."

Wendi seemed to have guessed something. As the Emperor-rank with the deepest foundation, his age was second only to the Human Emperor and the Blood Emperor, surpassing all others, so it was not strange for him to know some secrets.

As for Wendi's intention, it was still to win over Li Zhangsheng.

Regarding the Heaven and Earth Hegemony of the ancient era, Li Zhangsheng, having seen the murals in Ziwei Palace, knew more than the average person.

In the ancient era, the Heavenly Emperor and the Star Emperor ruled the Heavenly Court, while the Profound Emperor and Profound Empress unified the continent. At that time, in order to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, both sides engaged in fierce contention, which ultimately ended in mutual destruction.

Why they wanted to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, Li Zhangsheng did not know, but it was certain that this must have brought them immense benefits, perhaps even relating to the possibility of advancing further.

As for the specifics, he would likely only know the answer after obtaining the inheritance of the Star Emperor.

However, Wendi's words still added a sense of urgency to Li Zhangsheng. It was better to believe it than not, especially since the Human Emperor was still secretly laying out plans in the Dawn World; after so many years, who knew what he was plotting.

After collecting his thoughts, Li Zhangsheng's gaze fell upon the Treasure Box.

The item Wendi sent must be of immense value, and it was very likely an item he urgently needed, as his wish list had long since spread abroad, and perhaps Wendi had heard of it.

However, necessary vigilance was still required.

Li Zhangsheng would rather judge a gentleman with a villain's heart than fall into a crisis due to carelessness.

Under the protection of numerous treasures, Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to slowly open the Treasure Box.

As the Treasure Box opened, brilliant black and white radiance shot into the sky, the two colors intertwining to form a Yin Yang Fish pattern, which slowly began to rotate.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the Treasure Box and saw a black and white pearl floating slightly above it.

The two colors were distinct, yet they flowed from time to time, as if they were a single entity.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng sensed a disturbance in his Space Ring; a treasure was vibrating.

Li Zhangsheng took out this treasure directly; it was the Five Elements Exquisite Pearl he had captured long ago, obtained from the Langya Kingdom's royal treasury, which had been placed there by the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

Five Elements Exquisite Pearl: A Lower-Grade World Wonder. When combined with the Yin Yang Exquisite Pearl, it can allow Demon Pets of races below the Sovereign level to enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis, and significantly boost the chance for Demon Pets of the Master Race to enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis. Note: It must be combined with the Yin Yang Exquisite Pearl to be absorbed; otherwise, non-Divine Beasts or Demon Pets below the Demon Emperor Level will likely explode and die upon ingestion.

Clearly, the black and white pearl before him was naturally the Yin Yang Exquisite Pearl.

If a Demon Pet with a Robust Bloodline absorbed both pearls, there would likely be a forty percent chance of evolving into a Divine Beast; the preciousness of Wendi's gift was self-evident.

Wendi valued him so much that Li Zhangsheng did not know what to say, but he knew clearly that he had accepted a favor from Wendi this time; if he did not want to join Wendi's faction, it would be very difficult to repay this favor in the future.

As the Sovereign of the Eastern Region, Wendi basically lacked nothing; among what Li Zhangsheng possessed, perhaps only the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal was a treasure Wendi urgently needed.

However, the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal was too precious, and Li Zhangsheng had no intention of trading it for the time being.

"In any case, I'll use it first!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head and began to consider who should absorb these two pearls.

In terms of cost-effectiveness and success rate, the two kittens were naturally the best choice.

But in terms of the nature of bloodline absorption, the three bloodlines of the Ancestral Dragon, Candle Dragon, and Nine-Faced Dragon God were the rarest.

Given that the Three-Headed Dragon could enter a state of Atavism at any time, the Three-Headed Dragon was excluded here first.

The Ancestral Dragon had nine sons, and some Five-Clawed Golden Dragons also possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline; relatively speaking, it was easier to collect than the Candle Dragon bloodline. Moreover, Li Zhangsheng had news of an underage Baxia; as long as he captured the Baxia, he could obtain a steady stream of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

In this way, he had to decide between the two kittens and the Qiulong, which possessed a Robust Candle Dragon bloodline.

If not for Wendi's warning, Li Zhangsheng might have chosen the Qiulong, but now he was more inclined toward the two kittens.

Because the Qiulong was still at the Demon King level, even if it advanced further after evolution, it would only be at the Demon Saint level, which would not be of much help to Li Zhangsheng. Conversely, if the two kittens both became Divine Beasts, they would be of great help to Li Zhangsheng; after all, they were both at the Demon Emperor Level and possessed extreme tacit understanding.

Once the two kittens evolved into Divine Beasts, with their tacit understanding, they could even contend against Emperor-rank Divine Beasts for a short time.

Moreover, the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote was simply too monstrous; if given to the two kittens to absorb, the success rate would jump from forty percent to as high as eighty percent.

Li Zhangsheng could not ignore such a high success rate.

Choosing the Qiulong was for the long term, while choosing the two kittens was for the reality. Li Zhangsheng ultimately chose reality; after all, even if the Qiulong absorbed them, there was only a forty percent chance of success.
