All these years, her collection of Venerable Realm Crystal Cores had reached an astonishing number of about fifteen.
Fifteen Venerable Realm Crystal Cores ant she had slain fifteen Venerable Realm Demon Beasts—with that record alone, she beca the revered and admired Kunpeng Queen in everyone’s eyes.
The ten weakest Vajra Venerables of Shanghai Base City had each slain no more than two Venerable Realm Demon Beasts.
Even at the sa Venerable Realm, beating or driving back a Demon Beast was not hard, but killing one was extrely difficult.
Even if a Supre Demon Beast could not defeat a human Venerable, it would cleverly choose to escape, tearing open space and slipping away through the rift in an instant.
Xiao Ye had said that the resources required amounted to 150 mid-grade Venerable Crystal Cores; this was undoubtedly telling her that after upgrading the template, her realm would inevitably drop.
It was either refusing to upgrade the template or accepting the cost of a downgraded realm after upgrading.
Yun Bing was silent for a mont, then lifted her palm, displaying fifteen Venerable Realm Crystal Cores—eight lower grade, six mid-grade, and one top-grade.
"These are all the Venerable Realm Crystal Cores I have. For every realm below Venerable, I’ve got 150 Crystal Cores each."
"Fifteen Venerable Crystal Cores... that should be enough to make sure my realm doesn’t drop too low, right?" she asked.
Xiao Ye estimated for a bit, then said, "These Crystal Cores should be enough so that your realm only drops as far as Venerable Realm, second or third tier, and it won’t go any lower than that."
"Have you really thought this through, upgrade the template right now?"
Yun Bing nodded solemnly, "Yes, I’ve thought it through!"
Xiao Ye smiled, "OK, let’s go to the Secret Realm of Saint Spirits first, the commotion from upgrading the template will be huge; there, we won’t attract the attention of powerful ddlers."
"Don’t be too disappointed—Venerable Realm, third tier with a Mythical Level template could well be much stronger than Venerable Realm, ninth tier with an SSS-level template. Even though your realm drops, your combat power might actually get a boost."
Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes lit up; her disappointnt vanished in a flash, and a radiant smile spread across her pretty face as she stood up and said, "I believe you."
*Mu Qingxue mulled it over, then gasped,* "Oh right, lowering your realm doesn’t necessarily an your combat power goes down. At the sa Venerable Realm, how could SSS-level ever compare to Mythical Level?"*
Xiao Ye waved his hand, opening a blue Light Gate to the ninth floor Secret Realm of Saint Spirits inside the Bronze Hall—the portal in the dinsional boundary was two ters tall and one ter wide, standing right there in the open field.
The three of them walked through the blue Light Gate, passed through the boundary space tunnel, and entered the inner hall of the Bronze Hall, which was a spiritual artifact at the peak of Emperor Level. They instantly appeared within the Secret Realm of Saint Spirits on the ninth floor of the Bronze Hall.
After the Secret Realm of Saint Spirits was incorporated into the Bronze Hall as a sub-dinsional world, a Transmitting Array with an isolating barrier appeared at its very center.
The domain Teleportation Array allowed unrestricted travel between every floor of the Bronze Hall.
Of course, with Xiao Ye’s authority, he could access any floor without even needing the array.
Secret Realm of Saint Spirits.
On the endless, ruined grassland, Xiao Ye and the others appeared here. In the past, Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya had also upgraded their templates in this spot—now it was Yun Bing, at the Venerable Realm.
This great prairie showed no signs of Demon Beast activity; all life was extinct, and it lay at the absolute edge of the Secret Realm of Saint Spirits, with the boundary barrier looming at its far end.
Yun Bing, dressed in a one-piece, ultra-short maid outfit, sat cross-legged on the grass—her skirt nearly riding up and exposing her "forbidden zone."
She tossed her hands in the air, clap, clap, clap! Crystal Cores tumbled from her fingers, spilling out in a ring all around her.
One hundred and fifty Mortal Realm, ninth tier Crystal Cores, one hundred and fifty Grandmaster Crystal Cores, one hundred and fifty Great Grandmaster Crystal Cores, one hundred and fifty Venerable Crystal Cores, one hundred and fifty Great Venerable Crystal Cores, and fifteen Venerable Crystal Cores in total.
Since all the energy was locked inside the Crystal Cores, even with so many laid out, there was no big reaction.
Yun Bing noticed Xiao Ye staring right under her skirt and snapped, "Perv, you can stare all you want tonight, but for now, upgrade the template!"
*Mu Qingxue’s lips twitched as she lifted her foot and kicked him in protest.*
Xiao Ye scratched his head, looked away, and said, "These Crystal Cores are all impure energy conglorates. I’ll purify them first so you can absorb them easier—wouldn’t want the template upgrade taking forever."
*If upgrading the template dragged on for a year or two, that’d be so real BBQ.*
Xiao Ye took out the Rule Level Supre Treasure, the Xuanhuang Gemstone.
Holding the Xuanhuang Gemstone, he reached out, and a trendous suction ca out from within it.
All the Crystal Cores around Yun Bing were swept up by that suction and drawn into the Xuanhuang Gemstone.
The suction was so fierce it was like a windstorm—Yun Bing’s ultra-short skirt was totally lifted, revealing her forbidden zone in all its glory, and both Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue got an eyeful.
"Oof!" Yun Bing’s pretty face flushed red, but she didn’t bother to cover up.
The suction ca as fast as it went, lasting only two seconds; after that, even the skirt fell back down again.
[Rule Level Xuanhuang Gemstone: Can purify, calm, and stabilize chaotic or berserk Rule Power, Dao Rhythm Energy, Potential Energy, Conception Energy, regular energy, and so on.]
The Xuanhuang Gemstone radiated brilliant light, and in less than ten minutes, six blobs of Pure Energy Liquid of various sizes were sprayed out, floating quietly in midair.
Mortal Realm, Grandmaster Realm, Great Grandmaster Realm, Venerable Realm, Great Venerable Realm, Venerable Realm—each realm’s Crystal Core had its ssy energy totally purified and extracted. One blob of Pure Energy Liquid for each realm.
Xiao Ye’s face grew serious as he said, "Ready? Let’s start upgrading the template."
After Yun Bing nodded, Xiao Ye called on his Contractual Power. She felt it and instantly activated her own Contractual Power, beginning the summoning of her template Contracted Beast.
"ROAR!!"
Yun Bing and Xiao Ye vanished, darkness fell, and a Kunpeng Demon Beast, so massive it blotted out the sky, appeared in midair.
Mu Qingxue looked up, her face blank, exclaiming, "That’s one big fish."
The template upgrade had to be carried out on the Summoned Beast. Xiao Ye’s consciousness initiated the Template Adjuster’s upgrade function.
An overwhelming, vast, and unfathomable power appeared from the void, descending upon the Kunpeng.
Xiao Ye’s consciousness went into System Space, took out fifty Creation, fifty Dark Attribute, and fifty Space Type Rule Fragnt Crystals, and scattered them around the Kunpeng.
So many Rule Fragnt Crystals hovered around the Kunpeng.
After that, under the Supre Power of the Template Adjuster, each fragnt orderly and systematically burrowed into the Kunpeng Summoned Beast’s body.
First went the Creation Rule Fragnt Crystals, then the Space Type, then finally the Dark Attribute Rule Fragnt Crystals.
Each ti one entered, once the Kunpeng absorbed it, the next wave would follow.
Three, nine, thirty...
The three Rule Powers kept erupting from the Kunpeng Summoned Beast’s body; even the tiniest trace leaking out violently shook and shifted the space around them. Dark Attribute Rule Power stripped away all light, plunging the world into absolute darkness.
*Relying on her mory, Mu Qingxue left the prairie; only then did her vision return to normal.*
*Looking back that way, all she could see was pitch-black, and even with her spiritual power extended, she sensed nothing at all. That darkness not only blocked her sight, it shut out her soul, too.*
