After Yu Qingzhu left, Xie Feng, adhering to the principle that good things can only be truly possessed if they are eaten, prepared to refine the Emperor Origin Pearl on the spot.
He and the Imperial Evil Lord left the Mengl iu Volcano and went to a cave in a deep mountain forest thousands of miles away.
This cave was formed naturally, surrounded by lush vegetation, and far from human habitation, making it appear very secluded.
Moreover, for people of their caliber, traversing millions of miles is an easy task.
Xie Feng found a suitable place for refining, but Imperial Evil Lord did not accompany him. Instead, he decided to wander around the area to survey the terrain and prepare for future battles.
His dedication to fighting for the Imperial Evil Realm is very similar to that of Lu Yinjian.
These two worked together seamlessly, complementing each other perfectly in their mission to expand the territory of the Imperial Evil Realm. One fought against veteran generals, while the other cleared out lowly soldiers; their cooperation was so perfect that they were like a unified whole.
The Imperial Evil Lord has left.
Xie Feng pushed aside the lush vegetation and entered the enormous cave.
The cave wasn't too dark, as it was spacious and tall enough. The walls were damp and dark, and a faint, unpleasant odor permeated the air, like the smell of some kind of animal...
Xie Feng suspected there were wild animals inside, so he circled around but found nothing unusual.
Generally speaking, he has already reached the cultivation level of Indestructible Saint Venerable. As long as he doesn't encounter any particularly monstrous creatures in the Origin Realm, he can roam freely without restraint, so there's nothing to worry about.
In the middle of the cave stands a huge rock, which is covered with white moss, probably due to its long history.
Xie Feng leaped to the top of the rock, sat cross-legged on the moss, and then took out the Emperor Origin Pearl.
This bead was entirely crimson, surrounded by wisps of white spiritual mist. It was incredibly hot to the touch, as if it were holding a fiery red sun.
This also shows just how terrifying the energy within is!
Xie Feng then took out the Azure Profound Fan.
He planned to refine the energy and transfer it to the fan to upgrade it!
Currently, the Azure Profound Fan is only at the Dao Grade, which is too weak for Xie Feng's cultivation speed. If it is not upgraded, it can only be used as an ordinary fan for cooling off.
Xie Feng stared intently at the suspended Emperor Origin Pearl, unleashing boundless power of the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire, which enveloped the pearl's energy and surged forward, attempting to invade the pearl's interior.
Sensing external pressure, the Emperor Origin Pearl quickly generated a defensive force to resist it.
Two opposing forces, one internal and one external, began a long standoff!
Given this situation, it could very well take eight to ten years of stalemate before we see a result.
The most distinctive feature of humans is that they have brains!
Xie Feng racked his brains and began to think of another way. He first used the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire to restrain the Emperor Origin Pearl, allowing the pearl to concentrate nearly 90% of its internal energy to deal with the flames.
Then, the Chaos Power was used!
This Dao Source from his natural constitution, has become his true trump card since it was developed.
The moment the extremely powerful Chaos Power was unleashed, the situation instantly reversed!
The energy inside the Emperor Origin Pearl fluctuated wildly, and before long, it even became disordered.
Bang!
A startling explosion erupted from inside the bead!
Immediately, fine cracks appeared on the bead, Chaos Power seized the opportunity to infiltrate it, injecting its power into the Emperor Origin Pearl.
Before long, the beads couldn't hold on any longer.
The powerful but unrefined and unpurified forces within the Emperor Origin Pearl, under the tempering and purification of the Chaos Power, slowly transformed into gentle yet boundless energy, which then flowed towards the Azure Profound Fan!
Refining it is quite easy.
Soon, all the energy in the bead was transferred into the Azure Profound Fan, successfully upgrading it from the Dao Grade to the Extreme Dao level!
So far, Xie Feng possesses two Supreme swords, a Supreme Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire, an Extreme Dao fan, various powerful Cultivation Method, and the Long-lasting Eternal Grass that provides a continuous source of energy.
In that instant, he felt like a millionaire.
With money and treasures, it's hard not to be arrogant!
After refining the fan, Xie Feng picked it up with satisfaction and admired it repeatedly. Suddenly, the fan began to shake!
Xie Feng's body was also swaying!
The cave, the sky, and the earth were all shaking violently!
Xie Feng felt something moving under his buttocks. He looked down and his brows furrowed instantly.
The stone he was sitting on was getting bigger!
The already large volume was expanding wildly, and white moss was swirling and drifting down in large chunks, covering the ground into a snowy expanse.
Fresher white hairs appeared on the stone.
This is just like cats and dogs shedding fur!
What's going on?
Xie Feng whispered something, and without thinking much, he immediately got up and moved away from the strange rock.
The moment he stood up, the stone came to life!
It's truly become sentient!
With a rumbling sound, the stone stretched out and transformed into an elephant covered in white fur!
It turns out that the spot where Xie Feng was sitting wasn't a stone, but an elephant disguised as a stone.
Those white moss patches are actually the body hairs covering it!
Moo!!!
The White Elephant emitted a sound that resembled the mooing of a cow, but was more intense and awe-inspiring.
The screams continued incessantly, shaking the cave and causing rocks to fall down with a crash.
The White Elephant, with eyes as big as copper bells, slapped Xie Feng with its trunk!
The nose made a whistling sound in the air.
The air itself was cut off.
Could it be that sitting on its head and burning it with fire startled the elephant?
Xie Feng looked over and saw that this tall creature was at least ten zhang long. When it stood up, it could almost lift the top of the cave. It was full of ferocity and if it swung its nose at you, it would definitely shatter your bones!
Xie Feng quickly retreated, dodging the elephant's trunk attack.
The thick elephant trunk slammed against the cave wall, smashing right through it!
"Those who disturb my peace, die!"
The White Elephant suddenly spoke in human language, its voice equally powerful, yet filled with intense anger.
Xie Feng said, "I didn't mean to offend you, I'll leave now!"
He originally intended to find a place to refine the Emperor Origin Pearl, but now he realized that he had unintentionally trespassed into the White Elephant's territory and burned the White Elephant's body, so he was indeed in the wrong.
As a gentleman, his departure was the best course of action.
The White Elephant stared at Xie Feng with its blue eyes, sizing him up. It said, "You can leave, but you rode on my head and burned my scalp. How do you plan to settle this?"
Xie Feng said, "Didn't you just slap my nose? I burned you, you hit me, we're even!"
The White Elephant roared, "I missed!"
Xie Feng shrugged. "That's your problem. Anyway, you attacked me. If I dodged it, it's my skill; if I missed, it's your skill."
The White Elephant said, "No! I've taken a liking to the fan you're holding; you keep it!"
