From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal Chapter 373 - 368: Demon Beasts Potential

Hanhai Cave Heaven, Snow Dust Island.

Snowflakes danced freely in the sky, mist enveloped the area, accompanied by the long cry of the Ice Phoenix Demon Beast, which flapped its wings, stirring up a bone-chilling blizzard.

Ever since it hatched, this little phoenix stayed in the bowl-shaped cave heaven, seldom venturing out, truly living up to its reputation as a hobody beast.

The wind and snow howled, demon energy surged, and this breakthrough was a natural progression, easily breaking through the small bottleneck to enter the Golden Core Middle Stage.

A burst of Xuanming cold air erupted, sweeping across the four directions from the Ice and Snow Palace at the island’s peak. The piercing cold instantly froze vast stretches of seawater.

Snowflakes fluttered everywhere as a snow leopard with a broad and wide tail desperately ran across the island, trying to avoid the fate of being frozen into an ice sculpture by Xuanming Power, letting out roars.

Seeing this, Li Quanqing couldn’t help but laugh, waving his hand to reverse the Qiankun and brought the Cloud Stepping Snow Leopard over, stroking its furry large head.

Since this creature has followed the Ice Phoenix and lived on Snow Dust Island, the cold has tempered its body day and night, gaining significant benefits and bloodline evolution.

Several years ago, it successfully broke through to Foundation Establishnt and was rewarded with an Ice Soul Spear, which he carelessly tossed into the Qiankun Bracelet to gather dust.

The cold wind howled, making a whistling sound, heavy snow covered the sky, blocking out the sun, with ice shards spinning like blades. The cold was enough to easily freeze a Foundation Establishnt cultivator to death.

As the pervasive demon energy gradually cald, the blizzard that engulfed the entire island also subsided, revealing the Snow Dust Icefield anew.

Only then did Li Quanqing set off to the island, stepping on the hardened ice layer, heading toward the palace at the highest point.

The cold was intense, ice pillars glistened, and the entire ice palace was constructed by the Xuanming Phoenix itself; perhaps influenced by its prior nature before Nirvana, it appeared sowhat reclusive.

"Screech!!"

In the depths of the ice palace, a blue phoenix bird sat majestically on the throne, its feathers draped entirely, its body massive and imposing, with pupils as pale as snow.

It held its head high with its phoenix crown spread wide, glistening like a gem atop an icy peak, breathtakingly beautiful. Its enormous wings gently flapped, leaving a long ice-blue trail, elegant and lively.

A stream of blue-black Xuanming energy roiled here, freezing the world, withering all things, as if illustrating the Dao of ice. The cold penetrated to the bone.

Even Li Quanqing, coming into close contact with this power, couldn’t help but shiver, with frost spreading over his eyebrows.

This guy... could it have awakened mories of its previous life?

Looking at the elegant, cool, noble, and awe-inspiring phoenix bird demon beast before him.

Li Quanqing couldn’t help but harbor a speculation.

But in the next mont, he realized he was overthinking it.

Accompanied by a familiar chirp, the little phoenix’s eyes suddenly beca lively, like pure crystal, revealing a kind of untouched clarity and innocence.

Thus, Li Quanqing completely relaxed, all doubts in his mind dissipated.

[Acquired a Golden Core Middle Stage Xuanming Ice Phoenix, rewarded with a Fourth Rank Soul Treasure "Han Yuling"!]

[Han Yuling: A Nascent Soul level soul treasure that guards the Sea of Divine Sense, enhances True Spirit, prevents possession by powerful cultivators, and is effective against the Heart Demon Illusion Realm.]

This is an extrely rare soul treasure, with great utility against Nascent Soul Heart Demons.

Li Quanqing recalled the last battle with Patriarch Blood River, at the critical mont, this old demon actually attempted to possess him using the strength of the Nascent Soul spirit.

After all, since starting cultivation from Qi Refinent, his Divine Soul Power, although strong, was not weaker than cultivators of the sa rank, but not strong enough to fight across ranks.

Li Quanqing took the Light Group and also took out a few ice attribute elixirs, feeding them to the little phoenix.

This creature was also one of the most worry-free spiritual beasts for him, its bloodline power extraordinarily strong, almost guaranteeing that it could advance to Fourth Rank Great Demon without needing to consu Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

After touring the ice palace, Li Quanqing walked through the Hanhai Cave Heaven.

It had been so ti since he personally toured these islands on the vast sea, usually observing with his Divine Soul.

Besides Snow Dust Island, there were also Red Dragon Island occupied by the Dragon Fla Eagle and Fish-Dragon Island occupied by the Wind and Thunder Python King, each burying a High Grade Spirit Stone.

Speaking of this, Li Quanqing also felt puzzled.

The ti since he advanced to Golden Core was still too brief, and he hadn’t traveled the world, with Qingyu Sea’s resources being extrely scarce.

Now, his Qiankun Bracelet only held Mid Grade Spirit Stones, and using them for cultivation was less effective than Fourth Rank Spirit Veins.

High Grade Spirit Stones are hard to find, many are in the hands of Nascent Soul cultivators, used for bartering.

As for supre-grade Spirit Stones, with the world broken and incomplete laws, they have beco legendary treasures.

Walking on Fish-Dragon Island, the two creatures that concerned Li Quanqing the most were naturally the Wooden Peacock and Jade Qilin Beast.

Under Ao Qing’s guidance, the Wooden Peacock had already learned the Human Clan script, starting to study the Nascent Soul Inheritance "Five Spirits Scripture," discovering strength buried deep in its bloodline.

The Jade Qilin Beast was sowhat carefree, still playing around with the Golden Fla Tiger all day, its cultivation sloppy.

Fortunately, this creature had an extraordinary bloodline, naturally close to Earth Power, with a high possibility of forming a Demon Core.

As for the Golden Fla Tiger, this rascal only knew how to act cute and catch fish in the sea, having been stuck in Foundation Establishnt Middle Stage for years, it was better not to ntion it.

Just be a mascot with peace of mind.

Similarly limited by potential was the Thunder Horn Python Queen, perhaps due to birthing too many offspring of its bloodline, its cultivation had also stagnated.

Moreover, since the Wind and Thunder Python King broke through to Golden Core, they hadn’t successfully produced offspring for a long ti, the bloodline of a Golden Core Demon being too rare.

As for the remaining Golden Scale Pangolin, White Jade Saint Image, and Yang Fla Fish, their potential was even lower, with little hope of breaking through Foundation Establishnt.

In contrast, the group of Vine Wood Apes, living among spiritual dicine every day, managed Fish-Dragon Island in an orderly manner.

The old ape also established Foundation not long ago, rewarded with a drop of Green Wood Spirit Liquid, containing imnse vitality of grass and trees.

Li Quanqing used this drop of spirit liquid on the lotus seed of the Five-Colored Treasure Lotus, but it was like a drop in the ocean, still unable to rejuvenate the spirit seed into sprouting.

"Now that many spiritual beasts have reached their potential, perhaps it’s ti to replace them with another batch?"

Li Quanqing walked through the air, flying out from the Hanhai Bowl, pondering in his heart.

With his current strength, only demon beasts with powerful bloodlines capable of breaking through to Golden Core could be of help.

Ordinary Foundation Establishnt Demon Beasts were of little use.

After all, even the direct descendants of Fourth Rank Great Demons had exhausted much of their potential to break through to Golden Core.

Hoping for a hundred percent breakthrough to Nascent Soul was impossible, only having a relatively higher chance.

Every Fourth Rank Great Demon is unique and irreplicable, requiring not only powerful bloodlines but also going through nurous trials, opportunities, and luck.

For example, the Demon Beast Emperors of the Golden Winged Peng Bird race have hundreds of clansn each generation, but only a few manage to break through the Fourth Rank.

Perhaps only the descendants of a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable can, relying solely on bloodline power, easily break through to Fourth Rank Nascent Soul.

However, such powerful bloodline beasts are extrely rare and precious within the Beast Taming Sect, not shared outside.

The only way for Li Quanqing to acquire one would be to personally venture to the Outer Sea Demon Clan, ticulously search and capture, battling with Nascent Soul Demons to obtain a bloodline descendant.

But now, trapped within Qingyu Cave Heaven, unable to take a step outside, he could only post missions and have the family keep an eye out for him.
