Chapter 1417: Pegasus (First update, requesting everything)

Besides involving spatial, temporal, and soul factors, the Three Lives Stone also possesses excellent defensive capabilities and can exempt some attacks related to the soul, darkness, and evil.

Looking at the overall effect, the Three Lives Stone is a quite excellent Dao-Achieving Item; like the Gate of Light and Darkness, its functions are almost irreplaceable—at the very least, Li Zhangsheng has never seen or heard of a similar Strange Treasure.

It is a pity that certain uses of the Three Lives Stone must be performed in the Underworld; if all goes well, one can also accumulate a large amount of Merit Profound Yellow Qi during this process.

"Let's head back first!"

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen joined hands to tear through the dimensional space and return to the Fairy World.

There were no accidents along the way. After settling down, Ning Bizhen temporarily focused her attention on the Secret Realm, intending to continue perfecting the Secret Realm rules.

For this purpose, Li Zhangsheng handed an Inheritance Jade Slip to Ning Bizhen, which contained much of the Star Emperor's research on Secret Realm rules.

As a Grandmaster of Arrays, the Star Emperor naturally had in-depth and meticulous research on Secret Realm rules; furthermore, the Heavenly Court already possessed plenty of such knowledge, so this was not difficult for the Star Emperor.

While Ning Bizhen was researching, Li Zhangsheng took out the four corpses of the Star Emperor's Demon Pets, preparing to refine their Spirit Essence.

Among them, the corpses of the White Tiger and the Pegasus could be said to be of the utmost importance, as this concerned the next step of evolution for Aixi and the Bright Pegasus.

As a Demon Emperor-level White Tiger, even though it had fallen for over ten thousand years, its flesh and blood had not withered much and remained quite well-preserved.

Similar to Emperors whose physical bodies do not decay, Demon Emperor-level Demon Pets that have comprehended Great Dao Power can also largely ensure their physical bodies do not decay after falling.

In contrast, those three Demon Emperor-level corpses could likely only maintain their state for a thousand years without decaying; now, only bones, skin, and some extremely withered dried flesh remained, and the skin even had a large number of cracks.

Even so, it was still possible to refine a fair amount of Spirit Essence from them.

One thing is certain: the Spirit Essence refined from these four corpses must have gone dormant and would need to be reactivated; this process would, more or less, cause some loss of Spirit Essence.

The difficulty of processing the Demon Emperor-level White Tiger's corpse was the greatest, but under Adai's sharp claws, it took only a little less than an hour to finish, turning it into a large amount of minced meat and bone fragments, while the excess fur, claws, teeth, and tendons were collected by Li Zhangsheng as top-tier materials.

As for the other three Demon Emperor-level corpses, it goes without saying that they were processed in less than ten minutes.

Spending half a day, all four corpses were refined into Spirit Essence, and the previously dormant Bloodline Imprints were all successfully activated.

Since these four Demon Pet corpses were all in their final forms, many refining steps were saved, and the refining rate slightly exceeded fifty percent.

Li Zhangsheng ultimately obtained 11 portions of White Tiger Spirit Essence, 7 of Six-Eared Macaque, 5 of Pegasus Spirit Essence, and 5 of Ancestral Silver Dragon.

The reason there was only this much was mainly because too much time had passed, and the step of activating the Bloodline Imprints had inevitably reduced the quantity of Spirit Essence, resulting in a significant discount.

Li Zhangsheng raised many wild Spirit Beasts possessing White Tiger bloodlines, so adding these 11 jars of White Tiger Spirit Essence was more than enough.

Pegasus Spirit Essence was different; even with his existing stock, it was still lacking.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng headed to Ning Bizhen's Secret Realm; the Star Emperor Secret Realm was home to a group of wild Spirit Beasts possessing Pegasus bloodlines, which could make up for the deficiency.

The leader of this group of Pegasus descendants was a Demon Emperor-level Kui Water Dragon Horse, who was once a member of the Two Emperors and Seven Sages.

Pegasus descendants are quite peculiar, possessing ten different attributes.

Under the call of the Demon Emperor-level Kui Water Dragon Horse, this group of Pegasus descendants stood in a row.

Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to control dozens of large syringes, and under the slightly terrified gazes of the Pegasus descendants, he began to draw blood.

The entire process was calm and smooth; Li Zhangsheng did not draw too much, and once he felt the quantity was sufficient, he immediately stopped.

By the time all this blood was refined into Pegasus Spirit Essence, the sky had already completely darkened.

Li Zhangsheng stretched, then summoned Aixi and the Bright Dragon Horse over.

The two Demon Pets ran over happily, with Aixi being the most joyful, as this meant its status could advance further.

Soon, the two Demon Pets finished absorbing and lay on the ground to digest, the concentration of the Bloodline Imprints within their bodies beginning to rise rapidly.

While the two Demon Pets were absorbing, Li Zhangsheng's eyes rolled around, and he had the Five-Eared Macaque summon its tribe.

The Five-Eared Macaque tribe owed their allegiance to Li Zhangsheng, so they would live in his Secret Realm from now on.

Soon, the Five-Eared Macaque finished summoning the tribe.

Looking at the dozens of macaques before him, Li Zhangsheng used his special ability to carefully select them, finally letting his gaze fall upon a Two-Eared Macaque with the most sparse bloodline.

This was a Superior Quality Two-Eared Macaque, and besides the Five-Eared Macaque, it was the one with the highest quality present; furthermore, it was still in the Growth Stage and possessed great potential.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng completed a Temporary Contract with this Two-Eared Macaque.

As for why he contracted a Two-Eared Macaque, it was mainly because Li Zhangsheng intended to gather the bloodlines of the Four Great Monkeys of the World in one body to see if he could recreate the legendary Chaos Demon Ape.

As for the remaining macaques, Li Zhangsheng extracted some blood from all of them, mainly because he lacked enough Six-Eared Macaque Spirit Essence to evolve this Two-Eared Macaque into a Divine Beast.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was refining the Six-Eared Macaque Spirit Essence, the two Demon Pets had already finished evolving.

The Bright Dragon Horse evolved into a Mid-level Divine Beast Pegasus, its quality rising to Epic; the only pity was that it still failed to break through when attempting to do so.

There was no help for it; the Pegasus is not a Top-tier Divine Beast, and combined with its relatively average quality, the breakthrough failure was not surprising.

On the other side, Aixi's strength had also advanced a step further.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Evil-Eyed Winged Tiger (Growth Stage, consumed Geng Metal Elite, enhanced Gold Element skill power, comes with certain armor-piercing effects, comprehended Geng Metal Divine Thunder. Consumed Xun Wind Elite, enhanced Wind Element skill power, possesses the effect of ignoring wind resistance, comprehended Xun Wind Divine Thunder. Condensed Rule Power, skill power doubled, and causes continuous damage to enemies; Rule Protection: exempts some damage, depending on the opponent's realm)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon Emperor Rank 4

【Spirit Beast Race】: Superior Divine Beast

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Legendary

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: White Tiger (Great Accomplishment), Qiongqi (Great Accomplishment)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Gold Element + Wind Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None 《Purple Pattern Luo Heaven Fruit eliminated attribute weaknesses》

After the White Tiger bloodline reached Great Accomplishment, Aixi's race rose to Superior Divine Beast, and it was only half a step away from being a Top-tier Divine Beast.

Besides this, the light spot representing Aixi was a bit brighter, though still not by much, and entering the next quality level remained a distant prospect.
