Ye Xiao arrived in front of the Three-Eyed Fire Bull. The Fire Soul kept transmitting its thoughts to him as if it wanted to swallow the eye of the Three-Eyed Fire Bull.
He first started a fire, then sliced off one of the bull's legs and began to roast it over the fire. Meanwhile, he also dug out the bull's eyes and held them in his left hand.
The Fire Soul gushed out and enveloped the eyeballs, which actually started shrinking at a very rapid pace. Just a few moments and they were turned into ash, whereas the Fire Soul ducked back into Ye Xiao's left hand.
After refining the eyeball of the Three-Eyed Fire Bull, the Blue Fire Soul actually became even stronger.
In just a short while, the bull's leg was exuding a tempting aroma. Ye Xiao sliced off a few slabs of beef and placed them onto a plate which he just made up from a block of wood.
The whole body of a Three-Eyed Fire Bull was like a treasure.
The tough hide of the bull could be made into defensive equipment that even sharp weapons instilled with spirit energy would find difficult to penetrate. And the beef, bones, and tendons were all very nutritious food, able to strengthen and invigorate the body, comparable to some treasured items.
Of course, the most precious were the eyes and the horns. However, the eyes had already been 'eaten' by his Fire Soul, and only a pair of horns was left. They could be forged into weapons that had the powerful destructive ability.
While Ye Xiao continued to eat his beef, he also remembered that there were still the memories of Ancient God of Weapon Refinement left for him to merge with.
After eating, he entered the Heavenly Pearl and arrived at the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
There, he once again saw the Dragon Coiling Cauldron in the middle of the First Floor.
Ye Xiao walked in front of the Dragon Coiling Cauldron and opened its lid. There, a small purple ball of light floating. This purple ball of light was the one containing the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement.
He took extended his hand and took out the purple ball of light which was covered by a protective barrier.
Bang!
Ka-cha!
Ka-cha!
Ye Xiao punched it with all of his strength and the protective barrier started to crumble under his attack.
BOOM!
With a loud sound, the protective barrier, that protected this purple ball of light for who knows how many years, was finally shattered into countless pieces and disappeared in the thin air.
Just as the protective barrier shattered, that purple ball of light flew out from his hand and directly entered in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows.
"Ahhhhhh!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the first floor of the Nine Story Pagoda the moment that blue ball of light entered in the middle of Ye Xiao's brows.
Ye Xiao directly sat down on the place he was standing while holding his head.
Pain! So much pain!
Even though he has already merged with the memories of the two Ancient Gods, he still could not endure the pain he feeling right now.
One after another, many new information and knowledge started to appear and forcefully imprint in his mind.
Ahhh!
He was groaning in pain while merging with the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement. This pain was even more painful than every pain he has endured except for the time when he was merging with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
He could not remain sitting while enduring the pain. He fell down on the ground and started to twitch right and left while trying to endure the pain he was going through at this moment.
Time continues to pass and he was already drenched in sweats. His entire clothes were already wet just because of the pain.
After who knows how much time passed, the pain finally started to subside and he finally started to feel slightly comfortable.
Not long after, the pain completely disappeared from his head.
"Finally the pain has subsided. I am still not used to this kind of terrifying pain. I felt as if my head was going to explode." Ye Xiao trembled in fear as he thought about the unbearable pain.
Merging with the memories of an Ancient God was no small matter.
He was still not out of the feeling of that terrifying pain. He sat down cross-legged and started to circulate the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
After his heart and mind calm down, he started to go through those memories.
Just like the other two memories of the Ancient Gods, the memory of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement was only one-third unlocked.
.....
_A few days later_
It was a swamp but there was an abundant amount of spirit energy and water in this area.
A violent wind suddenly came whistling and caused the swamp water to swirl into the air. The peacefulness of the swamp was instantly broken. The birds nearby were startled, causing them to flap their wings and fly away.
When the violent wind dissipated, the swamp water instantly spilled back onto the ground.
A slender figure appeared after the violent wind completely died out. There was a blue-coloured spear in this young man's hand which actually looked very beautiful.
But the head of this spear was actually covered with blood at this moment.
Not far from that young man, a lion-like magical beast's was corpse could be seen on the ground. It was obvious that this young man and the lion-like magical beast fought with each other a few moments ago but in the end, this magical beast was killed by that young man.
This young man was no other than Ye Xiao.
After merging with the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement, Ye Xiao started to look for opportunities in the Secret Realm.
It was already more than a month since he and other geniuses of the entire Grand Xia Empire entered the Secret Realm. In this period of time, not only he broke through to the Fifth Stage of the Martial King Realm, but he had also merged with a Red Fire Soul which later evolved into a Blue Fire Soul after devouring the Beats Fire within Ye Xiao's body.
He also gained many other things like the inheritance of the True Knight Jia Wufeng which was actually not of any use to him. He has also gotten his hands on five mystical treasures.
Everyone can only stay in the Secret Realm for one year and after a year, all of them will be transported out.
After killing the Lion-like magical beast which was a Fifth Stage magical beast, Ye Xiao gave its corpse to Little Yellow to devour.
Little Yellow has also given him a drop of her Vitality Essence. He was very happy at that time when he got this because it can now help his master to recover to his peak.
What surprised him the most was still non other than Little Yellow. Her growth was really too fast.
After absorbing the few drops of True Dragon's Blood Essence, she was now already a Fifth Stage Magical Beast.
At this moment, within the swamp, a flock of birds was taking flight after getting startled by a barrage of noises.
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows as he stepped onto the mushy ground. After covering the soles of his feet with spirit energy, he felt that he could safely roam within the swamp.
He was completely surrounded by wetland and the terrain was extremely muddy.
Ye Xiao was sure that without the aid of spirit energy, he would definitely be engulfed by the swamp within a few steps.
A Fifth Stage Martial King Realm martial artist possessed a large amount of spirit energy which was mainly true for Ye Xiao. Walking on the surface of the water by covering the soles of his feet with spirit energy was not an especially difficult technique.
The sploshing noises produced as his feet made contact with the water's surface travelled far within this large and open area.
The strange noises that were constantly coming from the swamp around him caused a frown to appear on his face and put him on alert.
As Ye Xiao moved forward by himself, his eyes were constantly scanning his surroundings in hope of catching a glimpse of some rare medicinal herb.
Suddenly, as Ye Xiao took a step forward, bubbles started appearing on the surface of the water. Ye Xiao calmly watched as something burst out from the water and splattered muddy water everywhere.
The creature was an extremely ugly magical beast. It was not very big but its sudden appearance still caused a frown to appear on Ye Xiao's face as he took a few steps back.
This creature was covered with a layer of black mud that gave off a revolting smell. It was staring straight at Ye Xiao with its small but full black eyes.
