Chapter 504 Saint Spirit Seed (2/2)
“The difficulty of the technique lies in the refining and fusion of Genesis Beast Spirits. These Spirits are vastly different, and will clash violently upon contact to devour each other. Forcibly fusing them will only result in mutual destruction.”
“Only with the most precise control will one be able to complete the entire process, a very challenging feat indeed.”
“It’s rather similar to the Nine Dragons Canon.” Zhou Yuan pondered to himself. However, the Nine Dragons Canon dealt with essence blood, while the Saint Spirit Art involved Genesis Beast Spirits which were clearly going to be far more difficult to deal with.
Old Xuan softly chuckled. With a jerk of his sleeve, two Beast Spirit crystals shot towards Zhou Yuan. “Give it a try.”
Zhou Yuan caught the two crystals and nodded. His palms faced each other as the crystals shattered, causing two translucent beast silhouettes to rise from within with tiny roars.
Genesis Qi surged out, enveloping the two Spirits as he slowly brought them together.
When they touched, a powerful backlash erupted, as if two vastly different elements were being forced to fuse. In the end, there was a loud bang as the two Beast Spirits turned into smoke and quickly dissipated.
Zhou Yuan’s expression was rather ugly. After personally trying it did he realize how difficult it was to fuse Beast Spirits.
Old Xuan unhurriedly said, “Those two were only grade two Genesis Beast Spirits. You should know that to successfully cultivate a Saint Spirit Seed, the ninety supplementary Beast Spirits will be grade 4 at the lowest, while the nine main ones need to be at least grade 5.”
“Moreover, if you use the lowest quality ingredients, the seed created will naturally be of a lower grade.”
“There are different grades of Saint Spirit Seeds?” Asked Zhou Yuan in surprise.
“There are two grades of seeds, low and high. The minimal level ingredients I mentioned earlier should result in a low grade seed. As for the high grade seed, the nine base Beast Spirits need to be at grade 6.”
Zhou Yuan’s expression turned even more ugly. Grade 6 Genesis Beasts were existances that could contend against Heavenly Sun stage human practitioners. Genesis Beasts that had reached that level were extremely intelligent, and even an injured Beast Spirit would not be easy to deal with, let alone fusing them together...
“What’s the difference between the low and high grades?” Inquired Zhou Yuan.
“The form a high grade Saint Spirit Seed takes will of course be stronger than a low grade one. Moreover, the former would also possess more transformations, which you will naturally learn about in the future.”
Old Xuan glanced at Zhou Yuan. “Given your strength, I feel a low grade seed is quite suitable.”
Zhou Yuan did not comment. Soon after, he realized another huge problem. If he were to continue in this manner, he would need a tremendous amount of Beast Spirits to cultivate a low grade Saint Spirit Seed.
A high grade Spirit would even require grade 6 Beast Spirits!
In the Genesis Beast world, Genesis Beasts that had reached grade 6 were no longer ordinary beasts, but known as Heaven Genesis Beasts.
A Beast Spirit Crystal from a Heaven Genesis Beast was not only rare but also extremely pricey, a cost he was likely unable to afford. Think about it, someone at the Heavenly Sun stage could already become an elder in the Cangxuan Sect. A Genesis Beast with such strength was definitely no push over at all.
“The ingredients will be very difficult to gather if I aim to cultivate a high grade seed.” Zhou Yuan sighed deeply.
“Heh, how ambitious…”
Old Xuan lit his pipe and took a puff. Soon after, he nonchalantly said, “There’s no need for you to worry about the ingredients. You’ve done a great service for Saint Genesis Peak, and have yet to be properly rewarded. If you have the resolution, Saint Genesis Peak can provide some of the resources required for cultivating the Saint Spirit Seed.”
“Of course, this will offset your contributions, so don’t come whining to me about how you’ve bled for Saint Genesis Peak again.”
Zhou Yuan was first overjoyed, before rubbing his nose in embarrassment.
However, his spirits had been reinvigorated substantially. With old Xuan’s promise, he would no longer have to fret about the resources needed for the Saint Spirit Seed.
Next, he could begin to attempt cultivating the seed.
As for whether it would ultimately end up as low or high grade, he would adapt according to the situation. If high grade was impossible, Zhou Yuan would have no choice but to settle for something less...
