1799 Emerald Lake City (1/2)

After his sonic spirit lion swallowed the Five-headed Demonic Python's nascent soul, Qingfeng Li's spirit energy began to grow rapidly, until it became a storm of tornados circulating around his mental palace. It circled around his mindspace once, twice, three times, four times, five times… until it finally stopped.

By now, Qingfeng Li's spirit energy had been elevated from the previous ninth level of the supreme realm to the half-step spirit monarch realm, shining a purple light in his mindspace.

With the Monarch Law aura in his body, Qingfeng Li's whole presence experienced a transformation.

The Sky Wolf Emperor uttered an exclamation of appreciation. He had not expected that Qingfeng Li's spirit energy would actually break through into the half-step spirit monarch realm since the cultivation of spirit energy was far more difficult than physical cultivation and usually needed many soul treasures to help the breakthrough.

Qingfeng Li opened his eyes and released his spirit energy to scan the Five-headed Demonic Python's body at the bottom of the lake.

Reaching out his right palm, he smashed down onto the lake below and splashed the water out like an explosion. The water split open and exposed the giant body of Five-headed Demonic Python.

His hand formed a claw which closed hard in the direction of Five-headed Demonic Python's belly. With a tremendous pulling force, he retrieved the demon core out from the body of the demonic beast. It was a half-step spirit monarch realm spirit core.

Happily, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake ran to Qingfeng Li and looked at him ingratiatingly, each hoping that Qingfeng Li would give the half-step spirit monarch realm demon core to it.

After a moment's consideration, Qingfeng Li handed the demon core to Sky-Devouring Snake, saying, ”This is a snake demon core and will fit you better. After refining it, your power will increase and enter the half-step spirit monarch realm. By then, you'll become a powerful assistant of mine.”

Black Puppy lowered its head with sulkiness since it had been eager for the demon core. Once Sky-Devouring Snake broke through into the half-step spirit monarch realm, Black Puppy would be no match for it and thus would be helpless if it was bullied by the snake.

Seeing the displeasure on Black Puppy's face, Qingfeng Li reached out his palm and patted it on its forehead. He comforted it in a low voice, ”Don't worry. The next time we meet a half-step spirit monarch realm demonic beast, I will kill it and give you its demon core.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li's comforting words, Black Puppy was happy again.

Qingfeng Li said, ”Let's go find Xue Lin.”

Nodding, the Sky Wolf Emperor took out a flight spiritual treasure from his interspatial ring. He threw it in the air and everyone jumped onto it.

He built a flight array formation on the flight spiritual treasure. With a light pressing from him, the flight spiritual treasure emitted a blue light and turned into a flash of lightning before shooting into the sky and flying 10,000 kilometers to the east.

Half an hour later, the flight spiritual treasure landed on their destination. It was a valley filled with debris of rocks and trees while some places were covered by blood. It seemed like someone had been wounded here.

Qingfeng Li's expression changed sharply at the sight and he rushed forward anxiously.

Running all over the valley, Qingfeng Li didn't find a trace of Xue Lin, which made him very worried.

He said to Black Puppy, ”Come on, sniff for Xue Lin and determine where she is.”

Nodding, Black Puppy immediately activated his Ancestor Dog superpower and began to sniff around.

A moment later, Black Puppy's expression changed sharply, saying, ”Not good. I can't smell Xue Lin's scent within the range of 15,000 miles. She must have left.”
