As soon as my cultivation reached the Monster Saint realm, I sensed the existence of my Life Palace, and then I sensed a trace of the Yang Spirit's aura.
Ever since I was seriously injured and fell into the Monster Saint realm, I had never sensed the existence of the Yang Spirit. The power of the God's Will in my Life Palace seemed to have been lost. Only now did the two finally return to my senses.
I was excited and tried to clear the Life Palace, mobilizing the Yang Spirit and the power of the God's Will. However, after trying for an hour, the Life Palace was cleared, but the Yang Spirit could still only sense the aura. It was the same for the power of the God's Will.
After thinking for a while, I thought that my current cultivation was not enough for me to mobilize the Yang Spirit, so I was not in a hurry. After a night's rest, I swallowed the Earth-level Beast Pill that I had previously stored.
As soon as the Earth-level Beast Pill entered my stomach, it turned into a cold stream and spread to my limbs and bones. After a while, it gathered again and poured into my Life Palace, then disappeared.
I thought that under the stimulation of this power, the Yang Spirit could be revealed, but after some tests, I found that it was not the case at all. Although the aura of the Yang Spirit was a little stronger, it was still far from being able to be mobilized.
I frowned and pondered. After a long time, I had a slight idea.
When I was seriously injured, in addition to my body, the Yang Spirit was most likely also severely injured. After the power of the Earth-level Beast Pill flowed into my Life Palace, it was most likely absorbed by the Yang Spirit to nourish my injuries.
In that case, I was afraid that I would need to absorb a large number of Earth-level Beast Pills to recover my Yang Spirit before I could continue to improve my cultivation.
After confirming this idea, I took action again and continued to move deeper into the Ural Mountain Range. After killing a few Monster King realm beasts, I finally encountered a Monster Saint realm beast again.
This time, my cultivation had also reached the Monster Saint realm, but after fighting, I found that the wild boar-like beast in front of me was extremely difficult to deal with. It was still difficult to deal with with just the power of my body and the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword. In the end, after using the Xuanyuan Sword Qi again, I finally killed it and successfully took out an Earth-level Beast Pill.
Compared to the first Earth Level Beast Core, the quality of the Beast Core in his hand was much better. Inside the crystal clear Beast Core, a miniature version of the Long-Clawed Wild Boar was very clear, and it was even faintly emitting a lustrous yellow light.
I remembered a strange beast recorded in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'. Its name was Lili. It lived on the Cabinet Mountain and looked like a wild boar. It had claws and saw teeth on its limbs. It was famous for digging.
It seemed that this wild boar-like beast possessed the bloodline of an ancient raccoon. Because of its ordinary appearance, I didn't recognize it at first.
"This is the first Ominous Beast with the cultivation of Demon Saint with ancient bloodline that I have killed, but I dare not use the previous method of waiting for it. After all, the strength of Ominous Beasts with the cultivation of Demon Saint is extraordinary. If I attract more of them at the same time, I'm afraid I can't deal with them at all. What's more, after activating the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, I have consumed a lot of my cultivation. I must recover before I have the strength to hunt Ominous Beasts of Demon Saint again."
I returned to the campsite on the tree that I had set up last night and swallowed the Beast Pill. Just like before, after circulating it through my limbs and bones, the power of the Beast Pill was all absorbed into my Life Palace.
I still couldn't sense the situation of the Yang Spirit, but to my surprise, when I tried to mobilize it, a trace of the God's Will was separated from my Life Palace and flowed out. I could mobilize it with ease.
Now, I was full of joy. The God's Will had a strong healing power. When the Life Palace of the Laoshan Mountain Sect Leader was damaged, his Yang Spirit was almost dried up. I relied on the God's Will to save him.
Now, according to my speculation, my Yang Spirit was also badly damaged and couldn't be repaired. If I pushed the God's Will in, would I be able to quickly repair my Yang Spirit like the Laoshan Mountain Sect Leader?
With this speculation, I hurriedly mobilized the trace of the God's Will and returned it to my Life Palace.
Just like the power of the Beast Core, this power disappeared after entering the Life Palace. However, the difference was that I could clearly feel my cultivation increase by a large margin.
I couldn't sense the situation of the Yang Spirit, but judging from the level of cultivation, my speculation was obviously correct.
Therefore, I was even more happy. I couldn't wait to kill the Monster Saint ferocious beasts again and quickly restore my Yang Spirit.
Of course, I wasn't in a hurry to act. After activating the Xuanyuan Sword Qi once, I couldn't use the Sword Qi for the time being. Even if my Yang Spirit had recovered a lot, I still had to rest for a few hours before I could act again.
During this period of rest, I continued to think about the problem just now.
From the situation of swallowing the Earth Level Beast Pill twice, it was obvious that only the Earth Level Beast Pill with the ancient bloodline could stimulate the God's Will. Therefore, my next target must be the Monster Saint ferocious beasts with the ancient bloodline.
Aside from the first time, when I first used the God's Will, I had guessed whether this power came from Emperor Ku or Monster Emperor Jun. I didn't have an answer at that time, but judging from the current situation, this power most likely came from Monster Emperor Jun.
Monster Emperor Jun was the ruler of the Monster race. Since this power belonged to Monster Emperor Jun, it might have other uses in the Monster territory. I secretly paid attention and planned to keep a trace of the God's Will in case I needed it in the future after swallowing the Earth Level Beast Pill again.
I rested on the tree for six hours. After my body had recovered to its peak, I once again set out into the depths of the mountain range.
Although there were many monsters in the depths of the Ural Mountain Range, after reaching the Monster Saint realm, they were all great monsters with their own territories. This time, I had searched for a long time before I finally found a Monster Saint ferocious beast. But from its appearance, it was just a wolf beast that could control the power of ice. It was a Monster Saint ferocious beast recorded in Saade Academy's' Records of Ferocious Beasts'. Obviously, it didn't have the ancient bloodline.
Even though I was slightly disappointed, I didn't let it go. This time, I didn't activate the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, but only used my physical body and the Xuanyuan Sword. After a close combat, I finally killed it and took out an Earth Level Beast Pill.
The Giant Frost Wolf's Beast Core was one of the most commonly seen Earth Grade Beast Cores in the Monster Domain. I thought for a moment. I still had to return to Rapids City. Who knows when I might need this Beast Core. So, I didn't swallow it and temporarily kept it.
Even if I didn't use it in the future, I could leave it for Nam before I leave. It would be enough for him to not have to worry about money and rations for a few years.
After placing the Beast Pill into the Xiang Liu pouch, I continued my journey. Finally, I found another Monster Saint ferocious beast. After killing it, I realized that it still didn't have the ancient bloodline and was unable to activate the God's Will's power. It could only slightly recover its Sun Spirit.
In the following month, I spent most of my time on the road.
The territory of the Monster Saint ferocious beasts was enormous. In a day, I could only encounter two to three Monster Saint ferocious beasts. In the past month, including the ferocious beast that possessed the Lili bloodline, I had only encountered five Monster Saint ferocious beasts that possessed the ancient bloodline. After swallowing all of their Beast Pills, I kept the God's Will's power that I had drawn out twice. As for the remaining few times, I sent them all to my Life Palace to recover my Sun Spirit.
After a month of hard work, my cultivation had already reached the intermediate stage of the Monster Saint. I was only one step away from the advanced stage.
During this period of time, my cultivation had been increasing rapidly every day. I could feel my own strength. If the conditions allowed me to, I wanted to continue hunting until I recovered my cultivation of the Ascension Realm. I even wanted to continue swallowing Beast Pills to see if my cultivation would continue to increase, and I could smoothly reach the half-step Xiaji, or even the Xiaji.
It was a good idea, but time waited for no man. Back then, Dean Xi Bo had said that there were only three months left until the ceremony to awaken the ferocious beasts in Rapids City. Now, two months had passed. I had gone deep into the Ural Mountain Range and was already very far from the academy. In the following month, I had to return to the academy. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to make it in time for the ceremony to awaken the ferocious beasts.
Helplessly, I could only embark on the return journey.
In order to avoid having nothing to do during this month, I deliberately made a semi-circle first. After killing two Monster Saint ferocious beasts, I avoided the way I had come, and embarked on the return journey from another direction.
In this way, on the way back, I hunted more than twenty Monster Saint ferocious beasts, and three of them possessed the ancient bloodline. After drawing out the God's Will's power, I sent it to my Life Palace twice, and saved the last one for later use.
