Jade Pond Sacred Spirit

Zhou Tong then looked at the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass seeds in the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings and the Immortal Phoenix Egg not far away.

He fell silent.

This time, he clearly noticed the difference between the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass seeds and the Immortal Phoenix Egg.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass seed is formed by the fusion of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass spirit body and the Latent Life; however, the Immortal Phoenix Egg is formed by the Immortal Phoenix spirit body fusing with Immortal Fire and performing the Immortal Phoenix Nine Nirvanas.

Strictly speaking, if I am reborn as the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in the future, I will still be myself; whether it is my life or anything else, I will still be myself, just like the changes of the Divine Silkworm Clan.

However, if one is reborn from Immortal Phoenix Egg, then one will no longer be oneself. One's race, life, and even primordial Divine Capital may be replaced, leaving only one's own will.

"From now on, I will either fuse a Latent Life into the Immortal Phoenix Egg, or I will re-nurture an Immortal Phoenix Spirit Body and re-integrate it with the Latent Life!" Zhou Tong thought for a moment and then made up his mind.

A new Immortal Phoenix spirit body was born!

This Immortal Phoenix spirit body has been "contaminated" by the Immortal Fire. Although its consciousness is still its own, from another perspective, it cannot be considered truly its own. This Divine Fetus is not entirely nurtured by itself.

Upon realizing this, Zhou Tong's divine power was greatly depleted, and immediately a massive amount of runes appeared within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

These runes are all Immortal Phoenix Runes. They continuously condensed and eventually transformed into the shape of a Immortal Phoenix.

"Although it's still quite sluggish, it will soon become a qualified spiritual body after a period of nurturing!" Zhou Tong nodded with satisfaction, then stepped outside.

"Clang!"

As Zhou Tong lifted his foot, the Vajra Ring beside him instantly flew back into the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings. At the same time, the illusion array beside him also disappeared.

"The Vajra Ring... After this incident, the territory of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass inside the Vajra Ring will probably expand!" Zhou Tong glanced at the Vajra Ring and thought to himself.

As long as this Vajra Ring stays within its own Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, it can enjoy the feedback from the Great Dao of Ten Evils it has comprehended, constantly refining itself and becoming stronger and stronger.

Of course, the most powerful Vajra Ring today is the Immortal Phoenix Path, which combines the mysteries of Immortal Fire and Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.

At this moment, Zhou Tong looked again towards the distance, where he saw that the Holy Imperial Son and Ye Fan and the others had not gone far and were talking to each other. It seemed that the Holy Imperial Son and Ye Fan got along quite well, and Ye Fan seemed to be interested in befriending the Holy Imperial Son.

"It seems that because of the Reincarnation Mirror, my reincarnation in this Lifetime didn't take much time at all! I've been reincarnating for a hundred years, but in reality, only about ten minutes have passed!" Zhou Tong secretly calculated the time.

"Zhou Tong, what were you doing just now?" Pang Bo shouted.

"It's nothing, I've just gained a little insight!" Zhou Tong said with a smile as he walked over.

They soon started talking, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

"Haha, Zhou Tong, I was wondering why you kept talking about the Stone Appreciation Convention. Turns out you're a disciple of Source Heaven Master!" Tu Fei couldn't help but laugh as he saw Zhou Tong approaching. "Give us some pointers at this Stone Appreciation Convention!"

"No problem, I've just run out of resources!" Zhou Tong nodded. "Give me all your resources, consider it an investment!"

"No problem!!" Li Heishui, Wu Zhongtian and the others were very excited, and they all handed over their sources to Zhou Tong.

Even Ye Fan and Pang Bo handed over their source to Zhou Tong.

"I've already reached an agreement with the people of Jade Pool. If I can nourish a Stone King with the blood of the Ancient King for a month, they've agreed to give me a Peach Divine Medicine," the Holy Imperial Son suddenly said.

Liu Kou and the others were all speechless. The fairies of Jade Pool were truly masters of negotiation. To nourish the Stone King with the blood of the Ancient King for a month was an astonishingly high price.

Where else can you find such a pure Ancient Royal Clan, whose entire body is a treasure, especially their Essence Blood?

"Do you still need to fulfill the agreement now?" Zhou Tong asked, somewhat surprised.

The Holy Imperial Son said, "Moreover, I am also looking forward to undergoing a blood transfusion, and this is a perfect opportunity to test it out. These waste bloods don't matter. After all, that Flat Peach is a rare spiritual root in the world, and can be considered the First Spirit Root below the Immortal Divine Medicine. Exchanging waste blood for such a divine medicine is worthwhile."

"I see!" Zhou Tong nodded.

"I need your Source Technique to help me infuse the King's blood into the Stone King," the Holy Imperial Son said.

"That's no problem, it's not difficult at all." Zhou Tong nodded. "However... this is something that you shouldn't be the one to bring up, but rather Jade Pool should be the one to tell me."

Jade Pool paid a price to get the Holy Imperial Son to do things for her, and if help was needed in the process, Jade Pool should be the one to step in. How could the Holy Imperial Son have to bleed money and owe a favor at the same time?

"You..." The Holy Imperial Son was speechless.

This Zhou Tong really "sticks to his principles." Jade Pool really wants to find him, she'll definitely have to pay a price.

"As the successor of Source Heaven Master, and the person closest to Source Heaven Master in this world, I should at least receive some appearance fee!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "I can't just do whatever they tell me to do! Wouldn't that be too undignified?"

Zhou Tong's voice was indifferent. The patriarch of the Source Heavenly Master Lineage had a good relationship with Jade Pool, but what did that have to do with him? That was the patriarch's network of relationships, not Zhou Tong's own.

"We'll go see the people from Jade Pool now. You can talk to them yourself!" The Holy Imperial Son glanced at Zhou Tong.

The successor of the Source Heaven Master and the Battle Saint Ape arrived together, Jade Pool treated them with great courtesy. Several Supreme Elder personally came out to greet them, and the Jade Pool Saintess also accompanied them.

Accompanied by several Supreme Elder of Jade Pool, they were led to the most important place in Jade Pool — the Immortal Pool.

Ahead, the air was shrouded in mist, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds, like a mythical world. Rare and exotic birds and beasts resembling Three-legged Golden Crow, fire Phoenix, and Kirin appeared nearby.

"That Peach Tree ..." Zhou Tong's eyes immediately fell on an ancient tree by the Immortal Pool.

The tree, as vigorous as a writhing dragon, stood forty-nine meters tall, its lush branches stretching towards the sky. Three fruits bore on its branches, exuding a rich, fragrant aroma that made one's pores open; they were clearly a priceless Treasure Herb.

These are the Peach Tree of the Jade Pool!

Beneath the Ancient Peach Tree lies a crystalline stone with nine orifices and eight holes, seemingly breathing in and out the Sun and Moon Essence, making it appear quite mystical!

"This stone is very special, unlike the other Stone King. We do not want to seal it away, but hope to nurture real life from it!" said a Supreme Elder of Jade Pool.

"You're courting death!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "Once the Holy Spirit is born, it will be beyond the control of your Jade Pool..."

"This is a benevolent spirit. This stone was purified by Ancient Saint, who preached to it in his later years..." said the Supreme Elder of Jade Pool directly.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to say more. But if it dares to provoke me again, I'll just slap it to death!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "However... if you want me to use the Source Heaven Divine Technique to nourish the divine stone, you Jade Pool wouldn't just let me do your work for nothing, would you!"

"As a descendant of the Source Heaven Master, you must have no other treasures in the world that can catch your eye," said the Supreme Elder of Jade Pool.

"My request is simple: I just need to borrow your Jade Pool's highest-grade Weapon Forging Room for a short time!" Zhou Tong said softly. "This request isn't unreasonable, is it?"

The price is reasonable, considering there are other families of Source Technique in Jade Pool; even if their methods are not as good as those of the Source Heavenly Master Lineage, they can still do similar things.

If the price is too high, Jade Pool is very likely to side entirely with those families Source Technique.

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, the people of Jade Pool breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they hadn't made any unreasonable demands.

"No problem!" The Supreme Elder of Jade Pool readily agreed.

Immediately, the monkey slit its wrist, and bright red blood flowed out.

"This is the blood of the Battle Saint Ape, and it's even the waste blood he replaced..." Zhou Tong's eyes narrowed slightly. "As expected of the Battle Saint Ape of the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, my blood is really no match for his now."

Each drop of blood emitted an astonishing divine light, dazzling the eyes, and possessed an extremely vigorous life force. Each drop of blood was like a divine furnace, blazing with divine flames.

Zhou Tong made his move, using the Origin Source Heaven Divine Technique to continuously draw on the Mysterious Stone, imprinting mysterious and unpredictable patterns that intertwined to form a complex design.

"Sizzle!"

After the monkey's blood dripped down, it quickly seeped into the Stone King trembled slightly, and its speed of absorbing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth increased even more.

"It will be born in about five thousand years..." Zhou Tong had a general idea of what was going on.
