The voice fell silent for a while. Then the voice in Lin Qi's soul sea suddenly grew much louder. "Immortal Ascension Pool pays its respects to you, my lord! My ability is to refine and process all energy and matter. Even energy and matter with utterly opposing attributes, I can make them fuse together perfectly. Thus, in Penglai, I was responsible for tempering all divine weapons of war, allowing them to unleash the formidable power born from the blending of elements."
"If I work together with the Undying Sal Osmanthus Tree, Sheer Cliff Dragon Crag, and the Hall of the Doomsday Apocalypse, I can repair and alter the bodies of any lifeform. I can elevate their bodies to the evolutionary limit their race can attain. At the same time, I can devour the bodies of any race, obtain their genetic information, and combine it to form newer, more powerful races."
Lin Qi drew a deep breath. "A very powerful ability. Then, for instance, humans and dragons?"
Both the Immortal Ascension Pool and the osmanthus tree sank into an odd silence. After a long while, the osmanthus tree finally said unhurriedly, "The combination of humans and dragons is not an ideal one. Once you complete this stage of cultivation and meet the conditions we have imposed, we will let you learn certain things you ought to know."
After a pause, the Hall of the Doomsday Apocalypse spoke in a muffled, booming voice. "All right, the Immortal Ascension Pool's damage can be repaired gradually. Now let us discuss the next matter: how to devour the Ninefold Secret Devil Tower. By the old rules, everyone shares equally in the benefits of devouring it. The Immortal Ascension Pool is currently the most severely damaged, so it may receive an extra share. Does anyone object?"
