Chapter 2048: Metamorphosis, Devouring Gods

He Pingsheng's Divine Sense swept into the second butterfly cocoon.

Soon, information surfaced once more.

Name: Nine Yin Divine Butterfly (Male Butterfly)

Grade: Ninth Grade Peak Quality.

Function: A top-tier divine beast of the Divine Realm, feeding on the Divine Sense of living beings, devouring Divine Sense to elevate its own cultivation, possessing the ability to transform its form, and capable of concealing itself in the void. Blood-drop bonding, one female and one male, neither dying nor living; once its cultivation reaches the peak of the God Emperor realm it dies, giving birth to two female and male beast eggs before death.

After placing these two butterfly cocoons on the table before him, He Pingsheng brought out two jade bottles.

The jade bottles contained Heavenly Amber Clear Dew, one bottle of female flower dew, one bottle of male flower dew.

However, He Pingsheng did not use this Heavenly Amber Clear Dew immediately.

Heavenly Amber Clear Dew is the first food for many divine butterflies; as for whether it could awaken these Nine Yin Divine Butterflies, He Pingsheng did not know either.

He could only try.

But before trying, He Pingsheng still had another matter to attend to: blood-drop bonding.

Bond first.

Otherwise, if they fly off once they metamorphose, I'll have nowhere to cry.

He squeezed out two drops of fresh blood from his fingertips, dripping them respectively into the two butterfly cocoons.

Soon, the cautious divine blood was absorbed by the butterfly cocoons, absorbed completely clean.

The next moment, He Pingsheng's mind and spirit formed a thread of connection with these two divine butterflies still in their cocoons, but perhaps because they had not been awakened, He Pingsheng still could not communicate with them.

But without a doubt, he had already succeeded in blood-drop bonding.

Next step, awaken.

He Pingsheng opened one bottle of male flower Heavenly Amber Clear Dew, then dripped out a drop, landing precisely on the male butterfly's cocoon.

In less than a breath, a miraculous thing happened.

He Pingsheng saw that the male butterfly's cocoon did not stir, yet the female butterfly's cocoon beside it surged into motion.

After a few breaths, a nine-colored butterfly emerged from its broken cocoon, flying directly onto the male butterfly's cocoon to devour that male flower Heavenly Amber Clear Dew.

Only then did He Pingsheng realize it was not male flower dew feeding the male butterfly, but the opposite.

He hurriedly dripped out another drop of male flower dew.

The female butterfly immediately landed on the dew, extending its proboscis to suck it up.

He Pingsheng then took out the female flower Heavenly Amber Clear Dew; likewise, the male butterfly emerged from its cocoon.

After the two divine butterflies each devoured the dew, they ate no more.

Each had only eaten a single drop.

After all, this Heavenly Amber Clear Dew is merely the divine butterflies' first food, not true sustenance.

The Nine Yin Divine Butterfly feeds on the Divine Sense of living beings of the Divine Realm.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The two butterflies fluttered their wings, roaming around He Pingsheng's body.

Wherever they passed, golden traces lingered in the void, taking a long time to dissipate.

"Master..."

"Master, Master..."

Two childish voices transmitted into He Pingsheng's Divine Sense.

Currently these two little things are both First Grade divine beasts, which is God General realm cultivation.

They still cannot directly open their mouths to converse with He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng smiled and asked: "Didn't you say you Nine Yin Divine Butterflies can turn invisible?"

"Can you turn invisible?"

Buzz buzz buzz...

The next moment, these two colored butterflies indeed directly turned invisible.

He Pingsheng could not see them, nor sense any fluctuations from them.

However, through the master-servant rules, he could sense their existence.

"Alright..." He Pingsheng said: "Show yourselves, I have some questions to ask you!"

The two divine butterflies landed respectively in He Pingsheng's left and right hands.

Each was the size of a palm, draped in nine-colored hues.

He Pingsheng asked: "You feed on the Divine Sense of living beings of the Divine Realm; when devouring others' Divine Sense, do you cause damage to their Sea of Consciousness?"

One voice replied: "No..."

"Master, we can very gently absorb your Divine Sense; this lost Divine Sense is just like the Divine Sense loss when you ordinarily control a divine artifact or use a divine ability!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

"Then..." He Pingsheng asked again: "What exactly is your use?"

He originally thought it would be a Divine Sense attack, directly devouring others' Divine Sense, but it turns out to be this gentle?

Then what use is there?

The other voice replied: "Master... when we absorb your Divine Sense, it is very gentle, but if you let us absorb your opponent, we can instantly suck dry your opponent's Divine Sense!"

"Then it won't be gentle!"

He Pingsheng:..........

Good fellow, I was still wondering what use they had.

This isn't useful?

"Good, good, good..." He Pingsheng was overjoyed, saying: "Alright... then you absorb my Divine Sense!"

Next, He Pingsheng felt his Divine Sense slowly draining away.

This drainage wasn't permanent loss, merely consumption like ordinary Divine Sense usage.

It could still be replenished through cultivation methods for Divine Sense.

As the Nine Yin Divine Butterfly said, this devouring operated on the same principle as He Pingsheng using his own Divine Sense.

That was good!

Perhaps because the two little ones had just been born, their appetites were still small; they ate for a while and were full.

Once full, they slept.

Looking at the two butterflies in his palm, beautiful to the utmost extreme, He Pingsheng suddenly had a thought: if he threw this thing into the Treasure Gathering Bowl, would it strengthen into four?

Although they were Ninth Grade Divine Beasts, right now they were only at the God General Realm.

Let's try!

He Pingsheng didn't hesitate; after fully communicating with the two Divine Beasts, he directly threw them both into the Treasure Gathering Bowl.

One year later!

He Pingsheng miserably discovered that the two of them had not been strengthened.

Forget it...

Some high-grade things can be strengthened before they've grown, but some cannot be strengthened.

There was nothing to be done about it.

Another twenty-seven years later, everyone finally flew out of this Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow forbidden zone, arriving at the location where He Pingsheng had originally entered the forbidden zone.

Just as they emerged, far off they saw a massive cultivator gathering point.

"Over there!" Wu Dabao said excitedly: "There should be large ships that can return to Xuanji City over there, Fellow Daoist He, shall we go there?"

He Pingsheng secretly took out a Disguise Talisman, slapped it onto himself with a pa, casually altered his appearance, and only then led Wu Dabao and the others over.

On the desolate Gobi, some temporary structures had been erected.

Quite a few cultivators were resting here.

There were God Control Realm, God Spirit Realm, as well as God Monarch Realm and God Venerable Realm.

But no God King Realm could be seen.

He Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief; with no God King Realm, he wouldn't be in any danger.

This was indeed a waypoint; merchant ships came and went, departing every so often.

He Pingsheng personally went to buy ship tickets for several people, but this ship couldn't depart immediately; it would wait several months before setting off.

But there was no rush; right next to it there was a temporarily built immortal tea house and the like, perfect for going over to take a look!

There were many people in the tea house.

He Pingsheng casually ordered two pots of Divine Tea and drank them slowly.

Where there are many people, gossip is inevitable, and news runs everywhere.

Not long after sitting down, He Pingsheng heard some information he didn't know.

"Do you know? The Time True God has come too!"

"Supposedly the Time True God and Emperor Gu fought a battle in the Void Space!"
