"You did good baby," Xuefeng praised Yi as soon as they returned back to Emi's Realm and looked down at his palm. Immense energy was threatening to explode his hand so he placed the Spirit Stone in its rightful spot on the Elemental Bracelet.
Swoosh!
A shockwave like Qi exploded from the bracelet, locking him down inside a cube-like room. Different shapes and figures began to form until the whole scene visualized in front of him. He appeared in a dark space within a tree and saw a man sitting on a self-made throne.
To his surprise, the man looked the same as the man he just saw earlier. The same body structure with the same black cloak. On his neck hung two stones on a string, the exact stones Xuefeng was after.
"So that's what he meant…" Xuefeng muttered as he gazed at the man. He didn't need to think twice to know it was Sect Master Liu's Master that sat in front of him.
If they could get another two stones from him, Xuefeng would only need to find a Metal and Blood Stone. That was so close to completion of the Elemental Bracelet that he couldn't help but grow excited.
The view pulled away from the tree house and displayed the area for him to remember the location before all of it disappeared. Everyone in his group left Ling's world once again and they finally discussed their options.
"The next two Elemental Stones are in the God Realm. They are in possession of that old man we were supposed to face. I suggest we make use of the time we have here to upgrade our Fate Spirits and then focus on Cultivating until everyone advances to the Ancient Celestial Stage," Xuefeng suggested. "What do you think?"
"Sounds good," Nuwa agreed. "It is best if we advance before Ascending. We don't want to face those Heavenly Chains again."
"I really want to go around here and collect some Spirit Herbs. Maybe I can brew some high-quality pills from them," Lisa informed while looking around excitedly. "Will you come with me Yiren, Tianshi?"
"Sure!" Yiren nodded as she wrapped her arms around Lisa. Those three grew closer over the last few weeks, being the main supports for the team.
"Alright, take Mona with you so you are safe," Xuefeng reminded but Yiren was already cuddling with the soft fox in her arms.
"If Miss Emi doesn't mind, we would like to train our abilities on the beasts in the area," Wuying proposed as she gathered with Wen, Shan and Yi. "Maybe we can also find some Bloodlines for ourselves."
Their old gang was inseparable, always thinking of fighting and challenging their potential. Before Xuefeng said anything, another beauty joined them.
"Let me join you," Xinyu called out while leaving her mother to herself. She fit better with the other humans while Katherine joined the group of Humanoid Beasts that stuck together.
"I don't think she will mind. She said we can do whatever we want," Xuefeng replied as she gazed at Drakos who was already eyeing the Fate Stones eagerly. "Drakos, you will be in charge of all the beasts in the group. I want you to help them recreate their bodies with Fate Qi and advance to the Ancient Celestial Stage."
Drakos blinked at his request. "What?? Do you know how time is needed for that? We only have a day!"
"I will speed up time in the area which will give us a total of thirty days. That much should be enough, right?" Xuefeng asked while eyeing him closely. "I give you almost an unlimited amount of resources and you can't even do that?"
"Fine, fine! I will do it!" Drakos replied with a sigh.
Xuefeng smiled and looked at Ryan who didn't seem sure about that idea. "You will get an opportunity to reform your body from scratch and unlock your limits. What is there to hesitate?"
"Alright, I will trust you," Ryan nodded as he smiled bitterly at being discovered.
He joined Drakos, Bella, and Katherine who were also like him but Xuefeng didn't blame them. Drakos didn't look trustworthy, especially with his laid-back attitude and suspicious smirk but they did trust Xuefeng.
"That leaves us with you three," Xuefeng continued as he turned to Nuwa, Wu, and Thunder Goddess. "What are your plans?"
His little slave didn't hesitate to stick to him as she announced, "I will do anything my Master does. I already advanced to the Ancient Celestial Stage."
"I actually wanted to stabilize my Soul after my recent breakthrough. It's still hurting me a little," Nuwa replied as she also came closer to Xuefeng. "I wouldn't mind if you helped me heal my Soul with your Regeneration Ability."
"Sure," Xuefeng agreed with no problems and finally looked at the last one of his wives. She had the brains and the power to lead but when it came to her battling capabilities, she began to lag behind everyone else.
"There is something I have for you," Xuefeng announced as he looked up at the sky. "Emi, did you already forget about our deal?"
"Ah, fine~"
A playful voice came from nowhere as the sexy succubus appeared between them. Her black tail wiggled as she pointed at Wu, "Did you pick this one?"
"Yes," Xuefeng nodded as he assured his wife. "Wu, she will pass you her Bloodline. Please accept it."
Wu's eyes widened in surprise but she quickly snapped back and acknowledged Emi's gesture, "Thank you, I will gladly accept it."
To receive a powerful Bloodline from such an individual was truly a blessing. No one in the right mind would reject it.
"Alright, then open your mouth and drink," Emi ordered casually as she slashed her wrist next to Wu's mouth. "Don't spill even a single drop. It's my Blood Essence."
Wu didn't need to be repeated twice. She grabbed Emi's arm and began to suck with her eyes shining. Everything proceeded smoothly when a shadow rushed at Emi, alerting her defenses.
Ugh!
Wuying grunted as Emi stopped her advance, her fingers choking on Wuying's neck.
"What do you think you are doing?"
