”Blood demon race's blood egg?” Xiang Shaoyun was shocked to hear that term.
He had read numerous ancient texts in the past, and he knew that the world was not inhabited by only humans and demonic beasts. There were numerous other races as well, such as the ghostrunes, the cannibals, and the blood demons Devouring Ghost had just mentioned.
The blood demons were extremely vicious and grew through blood consumption. Wherever they went, the place would be reduced to a desolate land of death. Because of that, the blood demons had eventually become a public enemy of numerous other races and had since been hunted to extinction. But a blood egg had actually appeared here. It was understandable why even Devouring Ghost was shocked.
”What a surprise. There is actually a blood egg here? Young master, please bestow it to me,” begged Devouring Ghost with a longing look.
Xiang Shaoyun looked at him and asked, ”What do you need it for? Why don't we destroy it right now. We can't let it have a chance to rise and bring calamity to the world.”
Devouring Ghost quickly said, ”No, no, the blood demons are not as scary as you think. If we use them properly, they will be of great help to us in the future.”
”Oh? Tell me more,” Xiang Shaoyun asked curiously.
”The blood demons are extremely bloodthirsty and cruel, and the numerous races have always thought that they had gone extinct. But that is wrong. They are still surviving in a certain land of absolute danger. It is extremely hard to fully eradicate them, but it isn't exactly hard to handle them. They can be easily killed with flame power of extreme yang. Therefore, this race is not really that scary. In fact, only the comparatively weaker organizations and races would fear the blood demons. In truth, not one superpower fears them,” explained Devouring Ghost. ”This blood egg has yet to transform into a blood demon. I can slowly imbue its soul with my power, slowly eroding its will, before hatching it. I can quickly train it into a powerful blood demon puppet. We can't let this egg go to waste.”
”But if we do that, what if we become the public enemy because of this blood demon?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”Only the weak will be afraid of public opinion. The strong will not fear the opinion of anyone,” declared Devouring Ghost proudly. ”In any case, these blood demon puppets also exist in the many superpowers of the world. Who dares to provoke them? It is tantamount to suicide. In any case, I won't easily free the blood demon before I recover my strength. You don't have to worry, young master.”
Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought before saying, ”Ok. You can have the egg. Do as you see fit.”
Devouring Ghost accepted the blood egg and laughed in a sinister manner, ”Good thing the tiny organizations here can't even recognize the blood egg for what it is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten such a treasure.”
Xiang Shaoyun could see how much Devouring Ghost liked the gift. Inwardly, he thought, Hopefully he will use this egg properly.
He then took out a stalk of emperor medicine, the time return gra.s.s, and gave it to Devouring Ghost as well. The time return gra.s.s was capable of removing a cultivator's original astral energy without doing any lasting harm to the cultivator's body. The cultivator would then be able to cultivate an astral energy of a different element from scratch.
Since Devouring Ghost was currently trying to harmonize Linggu Haonan's astral energy with his own, the time return gra.s.s would be perfect for him.
Devouring Ghost accepted the time return gra.s.s without any hesitation and said in excitement, ”With this thing, I will be able to recover my strength much faster. In less than 100 years, my soul foundation will reform. At that time, I can return to the peak, and I can even borrow the power of yin and yang to surpa.s.s my previous self. Hahaha!”
Xiang Shaoyun s.h.i.+fted his attention to Du Xuanhao and said, ”Big Brother Du, you have just broken through into the ninth-stage. If you want to enter the Sovereign Realm, you will need to learn more from Devouring Ghost. He was once an existence beyond the Soul Foundation Realm. Learning more about the Soul Foundation Realm will be very helpful for your future breakthrough.”
