Xuan Shi's expression grew ever more respectful.
With a flip of his palm, three drops of Ancient God Essence Blood, radiating astonishing fluctuations of vitality and blood energy, floated before him.
Then, a thread of azure aura, fine as a hair, slowly drifted out from another jade bottle.
"Three drops of Ancient God Essence Blood."
"Besides that, although this subordinate was unable to pinpoint the Qingqiu Fox Lord's true body, I intercepted this thread of Qingqiu Origin aura."
"Given enough time, we should be able to follow this aura and find where its true body is hidden."
The dark sea surface churned faintly as an invisible force swept across the distance.
The three drops of Ancient God Essence Blood and the Qingqiu Origin aura trembled lightly at the same time.
"Not bad. But these alone are still insufficient for the Demon Emperor to break the seal."
Xuan Shi said quietly, "This subordinate understands."
"Additionally, there is one matter within the Heaven Beyond Heaven secret realm that must be reported to the Imperial Preceptor."
"Speak!"
"The God of Mount Zhong, Zhu Jiuyin!"
Xuan Shi enunciated each word.
"A remnant soul of this person still existed within the secret realm."
"The remnant soul possessed a Demon Cultivator accompanying this subordinate and even joined forces with this subordinate for a short time."
"Oh?"
At last, Kunming's voice from the darkness showed a distinct change.
"Zhu Jiuyin was actually still alive?"
"Only a remnant soul. Moreover, it was ultimately heavily injured by the final battle intent of Pan Xionghui, an ancient expert of the Kuafu Clan."
"From this subordinate's perception, it should have completely dissipated."
"Completely dissipated?"
Kunming let out a soft laugh.
"If the God of Mount Zhong could truly dissipate so easily, how could he have endured from ancient times until now?"
