Chapter 525
Black Sky
"There really is a Nascent Soul stage being able to refine an eighth-tier Resentment Tea?" The bald Golden Crow was shocked!
It should be noted that as the strongest mutated Golden Crow bloodline creature in the history of the Forest Sea Demon Realm, it was already famous throughout the Demon Realm when it was still at the seventh level, but it still did not have the qualifications to drink the Resentment Tea.
It still vividly remembers that there was a Kunpeng prodigy of its time, whose physical body and supernatural powers were so strong that birds despaired, and who swept across the entire era without a single rival.
But even such a being completely lost control at the moment when the refining of the Resentment Tea was about to succeed, turning into a bloodthirsty madman who was immersed in pain for the rest of his life, and is still suppressed and sealed in the Demon Prison to this day.
However, this Kunpeng was indeed powerful. Even under suppression, it still broke through to the Mahayana stage. Moreover, the war hell intent bestowed by Yuan Cha became even more terrifying at the moment of its breakthrough.
Unfortunately, this only exacerbated its loss of control; otherwise, the Forest Sea Demon Realm would have gained another monstrous eighth-tier being.
After that incident, the last two portions of Resentment Tea in the entire Forest Sea Demon Realm were sealed away.
"I never expected that the old tortoise would give you its share of the Resentment Tea, and you actually managed to refine it successfully!" The bald, burly man transformed from the Golden Crow did not hide his surprise, his eyes revealing intense curiosity and shock.
"This is all thanks to Senior Xuanjia's gift!"
"That old tortoise is no good person. Although the Resentment Tea is a good thing, a rare treasure that can only be born in the Supreme Battlefield, unfortunately only beings in the Integration Stage can truly exert its effects. But for beings in the Integration Stage to consume it is basically courting death. That dead Kunpeng that once made me fear it is still insane. So that old tortoise is giving you that thing, not afraid that you will die!"
Bald Golden Crow shook his head and directly pulled down the Xuanjia Old Turtle's underwear.
Hearing this, Qi Ping's eyelids twitched wildly. He dared not respond to this old monster who was criticizing the Mahayana stage.
However, Qi Ping grasped another important point:
"Can the effects of the Resentment Tea only be achieved when consumed by beings in the fusion stage?"
"Yes, it's like a seed. It can only truly sprout during the process of breaking through to the Mahayana stage. As for how far it can grow, that depends on the individual. If you can withstand its impact, it proves that your attainments in spiritual power and willpower are extraordinary!"
At this point, a look of shock and envy resurfaced in the bald-headed Golden Crow's eyes.
Qi Ping also noticed this undisguised emotion.
"Is this 'resentment tea' really that hard to withstand? It can even drive a creature like the Kunpeng mad?" Qi Ping wondered.
Although the process of getting through it did put a lot of pressure on him, it was still a little short of causing him to lose control and break down.
A similar level of mental impact is almost inevitable when unleashing the power of the Earth Immortal Druid and the Imperial Moral Druid to their limits, only not as strong.
Furthermore, when using druidic power to emulate the heavens and earth, the intense and chaotic pressure of mental impact is almost inevitable.
"Could it be that my true talent lies in the realm of spirit and will?"
Qi Ping's heart suddenly stirred at this thought.
"If that's the case, could the effects of the Resentful Tea become the catalyst for me to awaken my next Druid class?"
Qi Ping has been continuously researching the power of the divine soul and will, especially the aspect of using the differentiation of divine soul and will to save one's life. However, there is no supreme inheritance in this area in the Star Sea World.
Then Qi Ping started chatting with the bald-headed Golden Crow.
Qi Ping also noticed that although the bald-headed Golden Crow was outspoken, his straightforward nature made him quite comfortable to be around, and he answered all of Qi Ping's questions without reservation.
Soon, the two of them relaxed and began drinking their treasured wines right there on the bones, chatting about their experiences and interesting stories from their respective worlds.
As the sun sets, a man and a golden crow clink glasses in the glow of the sunset.
Qi Ping hadn't had a chat like this in a long time since he reached the top of the Star Sea World. The bald Golden Crow seemed to be in a similar situation, also enjoying this kind of casual conversation free of any conflict of interest.
“Brother Qi, the aura on you seems somewhat familiar to me.” The bald Golden Crow sniffed lightly, as if he had discovered something.
"Oh? What do you mean, Brother Jin?" Qi Ping also looked puzzled, as he had no connection with the bald Jinwu.
“I remember now, it appeared on one of the little guys in our clan. If I hadn’t seen you, I wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Ping's heart suddenly stirred.
Could it be a crow?
Qi Ping's unusual behavior naturally caught the attention of the bald Golden Crow.
"What's its name?" Qi Ping asked.
"Black Sky!"
Sure enough! That was Ya Ya's name! Memories flooded back to Qi Ping like a torrent.
Since becoming his animal companion, the crow has spent all his time, besides cultivating, gazing at the sky and clamoring that he wants to reach the summit.
One day, Qi Ping rolled his eyes at the dark-skinned Ya Ya and said, "You might as well change your name to Black Sky."
Ya Ya readily agreed, and from then on, Ya Ya also had the name "Xiao Hei".
"What is your relationship with it?" the bald golden crow asked.
"My partner! We have concluded an equal pact, how is it now?" Qi Ping did not hide anything from him.
"This little guy is quite remarkable. It recently obtained an opportunity that is no less valuable than the Resentful Tea... I remember it seemed quite eager to break through to the Mahayana realm because the old tortoise wouldn't allow anyone below the Mahayana realm to leave this place. It seems it's because of you?"
"It should be."
Qi Ping was also somewhat amused and exasperated, as he hadn't expected the Forest Sea Demon Realm to have such a rule.
However, Ya Ya probably doesn't know that beings in the Mahayana stage can't enter the Star Sea World at all.
"So you two have a good relationship. I'm quite optimistic about that little guy. He has a good chance of breaking the bloodline shackles and curse of our Golden Crow clan. But I won't go into details. You'll be more surprised when you see it for yourself later. Now, come with me to see what the old tortoise said he was going to give you."
The bald-headed Golden Crow, who had just been so outspoken, suddenly became mysterious and then transformed into a Golden Crow, soaring into the sky.
This made Qi Ping's heart itch with curiosity, but he stopped worrying after learning that Ya Ya was doing well.
In particular, the bald-headed Golden Crow mentioned that it had recently obtained an opportunity no less valuable than the Resentful Tea. Qi Ping had already fully understood the rarity of the Resentful Tea during their conversation just now. An opportunity no less valuable than the Resentful Tea was probably a rare treasure that would be hard to find even in the entire Forest Sea Demon Realm.
Qi Ping didn't think much of it and immediately followed behind the bald Golden Crow. Knowing that Crow was doing well, he wasn't in a hurry.
What he was more curious about now was what kind of opportunity the Xuanjia Old Turtle had left him, that even the Golden Crow powerhouse with an aura as bright as the sun was merely the key to unlocking it. (End of this chapter)
