162: Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow Revive
While Chen Qingyun and Xia Zhixue were evolving their Beasts,
Chen Fei first visited Cheng Jingjing. "Minister, I'm back!"
Without another word, he pulled out some evolution Materials.
Cheng Jingjing's eyes sparkled. "I can't refuse these, but I won't take them for free.
I'll give you all my contribution points and Spirit Stones. If it's not enough, we can do installments!"
"Alright!"
Cheng Jingjing didn't like owing favors, something Chen Fei had always known, so he didn't refuse.
Next were Xie Xun and Xing Shaoshan.
As for Xing Shaoshan, Chen Fei had prepared a grand gift; in fact, he had secretly kept a small piece of void immortal crystal.
Xing Shaoshan's Nine-Turn Crystal Snake would definitely use it, but without the sacred codex's blessing, he didn't know how much benefit it would gain.
In the end, the Nine-Turn Crystal Snake successfully evolved to SS-Rank, not far from SSS-Rank.
Unfortunately, the Nine-Turn Crystal Snake did not comprehend the Power of Nothingness attribute.
The importance of the sacred codex was evident here.
"Thank you, Chen Fei. I was still some distance from being a King-level Beast Tamer.
But the Crystal Snake's evolution this time has given me a chance to Breakthrough."
Xing Shaoshan was in a better mood than ever before.
King-level! How many people dreamed of it but couldn't achieve it.
"No need to be so polite, all your assets are with me anyway."
Xing Shaoshan had also been emptied, and even if he was, it wouldn't be enough to buy this void immortal crystal.
Now, let's look at Chen Qingyun!
He also underwent a great transformation.
His strength directly reached Grandmaster Level 8, gained from the Beast's evolution feedback.
The Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat was promoted to SS-Rank Potential.
In addition, he had an Ice Elemental-type and Lightning-type beast, the Unicorn Thunder Ice Beast, which was S-Rank.
Its evolution item was the pine nut of the Frost Fir, successfully evolving it to SS-Rank and allowing it to comprehend the Frost Domain.
This caused Chen Qingyun's strength to soar rapidly.
"Hehehe... Wu Yun, Replication!"
After Wu Yun was promoted to SSS Beast, the Replication skill slots had increased to 12.
Chen Fei had coveted this Frost Domain for a long time.
It was just that none of the Four Beasts had ice attributes, which was why it was delayed until now.
Now Wu Yun had replicated 10 skills: Shadow Stealth, Quicksand Technique, Sonic Barrier, Yin-Yang Amplification, Star Healing, Vacuum Extraction, Disguise, Eye of Enslavement, Curse of Silence, Frost Domain.
There were still 2 Replication skill slots left.
Chen Fei had been hesitating whether to replicate Little Gu's Power of Nothingness or Lin Ya's Alien Space first.
However, it seemed that replicating them would be redundant, and the effects achieved would be far inferior to Little Gu and Lin Ya.
Because Wu Yun itself did not have void or space attributes.
Forget it, I'll look again!
The tribulation lightning was Wu Yun's most lethal trump card. It wasn't impossible for the current Replication skills to lean towards control and support.
After all, Little Gu, Lin Ya, and Chi Yu's paths couldn't be changed, only Wu Yun was variable.
Current Wu Yun was like a harmonizer, capable of compensating for any deficiencies in the team at any time.
With Chen Fei's resources, the strength of the five ministers had greatly improved.
Chen Qingyun was Grandmaster Level 8, with three SS-Rank Beasts and one S-Rank Beast.
Xia Zhixue was Grandmaster Level 7, with two SS-Rank Beasts and two S-Rank Beasts.
Xie Xun was similar to Xia Zhixue.
Cheng Jingjing was Grandmaster Level 9, with four SS-Rank Beasts.
Xing Shaoshan was about to step into the King-level Beast Tamer realm, with two SS-Rank Beasts, one S-Rank, and one above SS-Rank but below SSS-Rank.
The strength of all five had undergone a qualitative leap.
And they all had the foundation to be promoted to King-level Beast Tamers.
The five originally thought this was the end, until Chen Fei took out ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones, at which point Cheng Jingjing and Xing Shaoshan went crazy.
Even the usually steady Xing Shaoshan cursed, "Holy crap, you even brought out the Lingfu Secret Realm's trial stele?"
Cheng Jingjing was also speechless. "You didn't empty out the Lingfu Secret Realm, did you?"
Chen Fei revealed a mysterious smile to ease his embarrassment. "How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
The five said in unison, "Yes, you are!"
Chen Fei: ...Can we still chat happily?
"No, why isn't your name on these trial steles? Did you use a fake name?"
"Let me guess, this Mountain Ghost is you!"
"Two transcendences, impressive, unbeatable!"
Among those who achieved transcendence, besides Tuoba Zhiyuan, there was this Mountain Ghost.
In terms of gains, no one gained more than Chen Fei.
With this comparison, the answer was already obvious.
Chen Fei didn't need to say anything; the five had already guessed most of it.
After all, those who could reach Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer all had some brains.
There was another transcendence, from the initial Spirit Plant Garden trial stele. Little Bai Ze said that the content of that trial stele was quite special, so it wasn't released.
"Alright, stop guessing, all of you, hurry into the trial stele!
Take advantage of the fact that there are still some rewards unclaimed, first come, first served!"
These trial steles could be activated infinitely, requiring only the consumption of enough Spirit Stones before entering.
Hearing this, the five stopped talking nonsense and each chose a trial stele to enter.
They would face the Evil King's dependents that Chen Fei had seen.
The slaughter sacred codex had complete data, and combined with the ten thousand spirits trial stele, it simulated the Black Slime Worm King, Bloodthirsty Moss, Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast... one by one.
This led to the five falling into an unprecedented bitter battle.
Originally, with Cheng Jingjing's strength, she should have climbed to at least the 18th floor, but now she couldn't even pass the 9th floor. The difficulty was more than just a little bit greater.
The gains from the battle were also greater than ever before, laying a practical foundation for them to advance to the King-level... As for Chen Fei!
He recalled the hundred thousand Gu from the Baiyue Mountain Range.
These little fellows' strength was already a bit behind, so Chen Fei put them into the Xirang Space to help them grow.
Upon entering!
Chen Fei noticed the changes in the Xirang Space.
The biggest change was undoubtedly the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow.
Just over a month ago, it was only three meters tall, but now it had grown to ten meters.
Moreover, its branches had unique patterns that were shimmering with greenish-blue light.
Chen Fei found himself somewhat drawn into these patterns.
When he came to his senses, he realized that his comprehension of the Ten Directions Ambush Great Array had deepened significantly, almost reaching the Mastery Level.
These patterns were like an exposition of the Dao, instantly boosting one's comprehension ability.
As a result, a group of Yao Beasts were sitting and lying under the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow.
They all had their eyes closed, seemingly comprehending something.
Chen Fei was very relieved; saving the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow was not in vain.
"You've come!"
A spiritual sense entered Chen Fei's mind.
"You are... the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow."
"That's right, it's me!"
The willow rustled, seemingly expressing its happiness at Chen Fei's arrival.
Chen Fei asked curiously, "What's your situation now?"
One of the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow's branches pointed to the ground. "I don't know what you buried at my roots.
I felt an unprecedented surge of power.
Through instinctive absorption, I grew rapidly, recovering about thirty percent of my former strength, and my memories also returned."
Chen Fei instantly understood; it was the Shadow Great Emperor's skeleton.
Unexpectedly, it became the Opportunity for the Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow...
